[Newark] Diagnosing problems at boot

[Steve Caddy]

This one is mainly for Bob, who was asking about USB problems at boot after a
kernel upgrade.

I'm not sure if this email list accepts attachments or not, but it's worth
giving this a go (if it doesn't work, we'll try something else):

You need to dump your last set of boot messages to a text file, using this
command line:

cd ; dmesg > dmesg.txt

This performs 3 operations... first it sets the current directory to be your
home directory (just in case it wasn't anyway), then it retrieves the boot
messages using dmesg, and then it redirects the output to a file called
dmesg.txt. You should then be able to find the resulting dmesg.txt file in
your home area, and attach it to an email to this list.

Regards

Steve
