Troubleshooting The Boot Process
Originally written by
- The boot process logs all its messages into /var/log/messages
- Possibly also in /var/log/dmesg
- Look in those files for error messages, and try to analyze them or
look them up on the Internet.
- Sometimes you'll notice a problem resulting from kernel configuration -
reconfigure, recompile from scratch
(make clean...), re-install and try again.
- If you see that all modules fail to load with unresolved symbols, make
sure you compiled and installed the modules.
