(solved) How to see error messages during boot?
« on: October 22, 2011, 11:05:04 AM »
Hello,
I have the issue that on fast PCs, errors coming up during th boot phase (error not introduced into the dmesg log), cannot be seen because it comes to the boot screen and this boot screen disappear very quick.
Is there a method, not making a boot phase slower, how to see all errors coming up during booting? (errors happening during TCE loading etc.) On my old AMD K6-III box, this is not too difficult.. on my asus AMD bicore, this is nearly impossible to read everything).
Thanks.

Did you try "showapps pause"?
