Assuming I understand the question correctly, you can: 1. Press ScrLk during boot and scroll up-down. 2. Use `dmesg -a`, maybe piped into `less` if you prefer. The -a switch should show you the boot process messages, which are norma= lly suppressed. 3. Check /var/log/ Cheers, --=20 Sergei Akhmatdinov My GPG public key: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys AD800D99 --Sig_/eDbYN8cV3fPFgg2ykOj8woo Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEFByDSlcPK9lAgiNNxKRHP62ADZkFAliILXAACgkQxKRHP62A DZlY4A/+IXgEUq1eZlmdQp0BZV/RqnUfMaFPNQaapGeDgeFfo3kzCLYOx2LBgBA3 7l9hEz0+uZSruKW1iSJ6/7zfCq5YepCs5MiDcgdHwWNMGlijmIvaxFEZN0iGZE7y 2zWO3ywaw54dKvYcuslJ8T6em2aQV+TCmbxHmuFRUwisPK+zyCHnsrUtkH7VzRWl ZjarzQXQTAUdOAHqyalBruPsebixjQ5H6X9fpam0vf+LbLb3eKfP1OZ+zMEeM26j DIcq4vBxRmmuG6YygCa2nL4IC6ssHxZJI9/g5HKp6CJZFMrPk4aoQikIAHKRyhcY iifkoJ/jpPYzNi3Ka4ifyq5YlhQobSOKjUhonaNVqkKUhzMxNH6xPsWkaAKEPjrX uN+foi+ZgkSlUyGvT7er/of4vwBRKz/Y3afRQqtH74k2/Dpd/oue9xov5YLEy8Aa EvpsAxdmnW0IlDYWEA3G8oi62tfbWIzkEpCzSBpxxBrH5azdobF97U+v7TcejxA4 3Of1Rm2A5AfEqxQd2mgbj9iil9wDHZFhl6f49Fp3bx46j0wSWIaFyET6SMGpxjLg BFnfFQWREgufo9CP2HqKCLzPrMt/ixf6jViM3vRm9qL4tYZse/SEs+Ths5G7iBf8 SegQmHxiUQe2JIt5Nk20EEUt3C7JH+iQdPhtsjSH9GPEpxBDuXU= =5X4Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/eDbYN8cV3fPFgg2ykOj8woo--
