Capture Kernel Boot Messages in the Journal
|
||||
###########################################
|
||||
|
||||
By default |CL| does not capture kernel boot messages in the journal logs,
|
||||
where they're reported as "Missed" messages. This design decision was made
|
||||
to provide a faster boot performance. On the other hand, if you wish to
|
||||
see the messages, follow this guide.
|
||||
|
||||
Here's an example a journal log with "Missed" messages:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
:linenos:
|
||||
:emphasize-lines: 4
|
||||
|
||||
-- Reboot --

Prerequisites
|
||||
*************
|
||||
|
||||
* `systemd-journald` version 245 and higher
|
||||
|
||||
Enable journaling of kernel boot messages
|
||||
*****************************************
|
||||
|
||||
#. Open a terminal window.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Create a base journald configuration file.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d
|
||||
sudo cp /usr/lib/systemd/journald.conf.d/clear.conf /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/
|
||||
|
||||
#. Append :command:`BootKMsg=true` to it.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
echo "BootKMsg=true" | sudo tee -a /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/clear.conf
|
||||
|
||||
#. Reboot.
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to increase the kernel buffer length (for example, 1M), do this:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
sudo mkdir -p /etc/kernel/cmdline.d/
|
||||
echo "log_buf_len=1M" | sudo tee /etc/kernel/cmdline.d/log_buf_len.conf
|
||||
sudo clr-boot-manager update
|
||||
|
||||
Alternative
|
||||
***********
|
||||
|
||||
An alternative is to use :command:`dmesg`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
sudo dmesg
