Hi,

Where I could find Gentoo starts logs I could see on the screen after pressing the power button till login panel? Dmesg provides just half of those I need.

Xywa,
edit your /etc/inittab

change line

Code:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1


to

Code:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear tty1



for more log

Code:
$more /var/log/messages/
