The problem: Some are early messages missing, but the first msg _logged_ is always a partial sentence.
I assume this happens because sysklogd reads the messages from the scrollback buffer after it is started, in order to log messages which have gone by already. It just isn't reading back far enough, as the info is there in the scrollback buffer (I can see it).
So my guess would be: a) sysklogd needs to be fixed to read further back, or b) the kernel needs to tell sysklogd there are more messages available, c) I need to kick the computer around the room.
It isn't a syslogd.conf problem AFAIK. I have all kernel messages going to a kernel log, no matter the priority (kern.* /var/adm/kernel). The messages don't appear, or are incomplete in the logs - any log.
Thanks for your comments.
