Subject: Truncated dmesg at boot up
Date: Mon, 08 Oct 2001 23:06:33 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3BC277C9.E28C4457@home.com> (raw)
I am seeing a weird problem, and have been for some time, where the
messages output to the console during boot up and truncated. The first
few lines, always a different amount of lines, are always missing and
can not be seen by doing `dmesg` or `cat /var/log/dmesg`. I have been
using the -ac branch exclusively and am currently using -ac with the
most up-to-date CVS ext3 -ac merge and Robert Love's most current
preempt patches. Currently I am running 2.4.10-ac10 with the
2.4.7-ac7-ext3-0.9.12 branch of ext3 CVS to get me up to date with ext3
and also running the 2.4.10-ac10 set of preempt patches. Here is the
begining of what is contained in both the output of `dmesg` and `cat
/var/log/dmesg`:

There used to be more information at the top and I do not know why
recently I have not been able to see this information anymore. Thanks
to anyone who can help.
