When using systemd, the kernel boot messages are not dumped into /var/log/dmesg. With the old sysv-style init, /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit included: # Now that we have all of our basic modules loaded and the kernel going, # let's dump the syslog ring somewhere so we can find it later [ -f /var/log/dmesg ] && mv -f /var/log/dmesg /var/log/dmesg.old dmesg -s 131072 > /var/log/dmesg This is very useful to have; a single file with the boot messages that is not logrotated away.
*** Bug 787575 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Still an issue in F18.
These logs can be found in journal, in F19 it should be set as persistent, so closing this as solved in RAWHIDE.
But if you want it there you can create something like: :::::::::::::: /etc/systemd/systemd-dmesg :::::::::::::: #!/bin/bash [ -f /var/log/dmesg ] && mv -f /var/log/dmesg /var/log/dmesg.old dmesg -s 131072 > /var/log/dmesg :::::::::::::: /etc/systemd/system/dmesg.service :::::::::::::: [Unit] Description=Dump dmesg to /var/log/dmesg [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/etc/systemd/systemd-dmesg RemainAfterExit=yes [Install] WantedBy=basic.target
