Hi all,
I am still having problems with my desktop system. Having updated it from 4 to 5, I now have problems with the logs. Neither boot.log nor dmesg has any data post the update. syslog appears to be normal in that it starts when it should but does not show any errors. It looks like whatever is supposed to write to the logs during initial boot is not doing so, but I am not sure where to look to see what is wrong.
Look for some "*.rpmsave" files and specialy in /etc. Check the integrity of related packages: rpm -V sysklogd initscripts

Thanks for the reply.
rpm -V sysklogd initscripts
gives:
..5....T c /etc/inittab
Which if I read things correctly is to be expected.
And locate *.rpmsave /etc/X11/X.rpmsave /etc/alchemist/namespace/printconf/local.adl.rpmsave /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap.rpmsave /etc/selinux/targeted/booleans.rpmsave /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia.rpmsave /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn-applet.rpmsave
Looking at these files does not lead me to anything I can recognise as being a problem.
Regards
Rob
