question about logging kernel problems when kernel blows up

[Nick Van Vlaenderen]

Hi Scott,

By default, you can check the dmesg output by entering 'dmesg' on the
console. This will show the boot process. You can also write the output to a
file (since it's too much information for 1 screen) using 'dmesg > file'.

Also, look in /var/log/messages.

By the way, what problem do you have with your kernel?
