empty / blank boot.log problem in Fedora, Centos as well as OEL
Empty boot.log is a bug(151238/163461) in fedora, centos as well as OEL. This bug has been there for a longtime. I would not say this to be a complete fix but this fix might help you or might not help you. It all depends on what you are looking for. The OS tested here is Oracle Enterprise Linux OEL 5.3 Carthage. In my case I wanted to know if the script lockgcstartup was called during boot. Adding /usr/bin/logger -p local7.info “$1″ to /etc/init.d/functions in the below mentioned method, did output “starting lockgcstartup” on boot.log but it did not say it was a success or a failure….but atleast I knew that the script was called…So as I said this fix might or might not help you depending on your need….I’m also looking forward for a complete fix for this problem. I would be happier to hear from anyone finding a fix for this issue…
