All the boot information and output of a Suse 9 system can be retrieved in /var/log/boot.msg
. Here you find the kernel messages, stored by the ksyslog daemon, the init output and the messages of the various services started at the chosen runlevel.
This file is rewritten at every reboot, a copy of the output of the previous boot is kept in /var/log/boot.omsg
Here follows the output of the boot messages on a fresh Suse 9.1 on a HP Pavillon zd7000 laptop.
