[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#423528: sysvinit: bootlogd broken with no error message

[Dominique Brazziel]

Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.86.ds1-38
Severity: normal

Bootlogd suddenly stopped working but the daemon starts with no error message.
The /var/log/boot file is empty.  I'm running udev and bootlogd was working 
fine up until 5/02/07.  I have another machine running the same kernel and 
sysvinit version as this one and bootlogd works on that machine.  I tried 
specifying kernel boot parm 'console=tty1' per the man page but still 
'/var/log/boot' is empty.
