Hi,

I'm wondering how to preserve the last part of boot-up messages in RH8.

Back to RH6.2, all boot-up messages are preserved on console on boot. I
can scroll several pages back to refer to them. But since RH7, RedHat
started to clear screen before showing the login prompt. This has
created a great headache to me. All my customized settings are near to
bottom of the boot-up messages, and many times, I can see there were
errors, but the helpful error messages are cleared away right afterward
by "friendly" RedHat.

Most of those error messages are not in dmesg. How can I preserve them?

Thanks
