| |
Hi,
When the system boots i often encounter the boot process hanging. I usually hit 'Ctrl+Alt+Del' to reboot.
After coming across Magis Sysrq option, i have even tried sysrq+b to boot my system from the frozen boot state.
after repeated attempts when i successfully log into the system. I don't find the unsuccessful boot attempts i previously had encounterd in syslog or any other log files in ' /var/log/ ' forder.
As a result i am unable to identify the root cause of the boot freezes my system experiences.
I would like to know if there is any 'sysrq' option that will enable me to record/capture the boot message from the boot freeze which i can later use to troubleshoot why the boot freeze's occurrence on my system ?
If there is no such 'sysrq' option at present, wouldn't it be a great idea to have an option that will help one to capture/save the system boot messages to a file in ' /var/log ' folder each time he/she encounters a boot freeze ?
thanks.
