can't find startup messages since april in /var/log/messages using 2.4.18
For some strange reason I can't find where my "startup messagges" are being stored. I booted up twice this morning (052502) and only get only 1 line in /var/log/messages which is:
May 25 05:10:05 localhost syslogd 1.3-3: restart.
All boots since April 11 have only one such entry recorded. "dmesg" and a "vi" of "messages" show a full log journal for April 11.
I have did a "df" and all file sytems have free space.
Of course, the meesages do appear on the console at startup.
Any suggestions?

Look in /var/log/messages.0
I have a machine that does this - exactly the same config as every other machine but it insists of logging to the backup files.

Check if klogd is running.

check your init scripts , you might have some entry/error in /etc/rc.d/boot (or where ever you init scripts lie that clears the buffer befor syslogd/klogd get started. (my /etc/init.d/boot does dmesg -c > /var/log/boot.msg so I get the relevant messages during operation without screens of boot up infos, no boot messages in /var/log/messages this way ither.)
