/var/log/messages

Hi Mark, thanks for your help.. but /var/log/messages does'nt bring the boot log fails!
I Have a few boot.log files at /var/log but all empty (0 bytes)
at /etc/syslog.conf the line which refers to system boot log appears to be ok... see
# Save boot messages also to boot.log local7.* /var/log/boot.log
Any Idea?

Have you read through messages from the boot? Or how 'bout dmesg?
mark
Yes, i did check dmesg, and it seens to be right! at FC16 the boot.log works ok... but at the CentOS server, not is written there!
Cleiton
I cant see the system boot cuz im not near it, so I can only check the logs, but

You should be able to use ctrl-s to stop the flow of text, then use page up/down to view the actual messages; when done, ctrl-q (IIRC) will resume output to the terminal.

Keith, i have not physical access to the server, so its not possible to do that commands!

This was broken in rhel5. I think all flavors. Just google 'rhel5 boot.log empty'. It is fixed in rhel6 with the addition of plymouth.
From the rhel5.3 releasenotes:
Boot-time logging to /var/log/boot.log is not available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3

How are you able to see the console if you don't have physical access? If you're using an IP KVM, IPMI, or serial console, ctrl-s from your own terminal should still work.

This was taken out of RHEL in 5 and was to be replaced. However, I've not seen where, though I've not looked at 6 yet

6 has a subsystem called plymouth that takes care of this. It updates /var/log/boot.log as well as /var/spool/plymouth/boot.log
