I'm using
slackware64-current/usb-and-pxe-installers/usbimg2disk.sh
to create a boot/install thumb drive. Is there any way to
modify either the script or the resulting thumb drive or
anything else so that when you boot that drive all the
boot messages get saved to a file similar to /var/log/messages.
Preferably all messages, as if *.* -/var/log/messages
were in /etc/syslog.conf .
Reason I'm asking is because the boot drive boots and installs
fine on two boxes, but hangs on a third, just at the last moment
when it prints that "Press 1 to select alternate keyboard" message.
And unforturnately, it blanks the screen just before printing
that. Retrying several thimes, I think I see a "kernel panic"
message, but can't make out any details before they all disappear.
And I subsequently tried booting an old slack 14.2 dvd, with
exactly the same outcome. However, I then downloaded an ubuntu
iso image, and that boots and installs just fine.
