Ubuntu - why would /var/log/dmesg stop updating after boot? does not show panic/cpu_hung errors which the console shows
- by Tom G
So I have an Ubuntu 10.04 install VM on a host.
Latest 2.6.38-15-server kernel .
/var/log/dmesg displays only the bootup but will stop recording after that.
It will not show the trace/cpu_hung errors I am trying to troubleshoot.
/var/log/dmesg.0 , dmesg.1 nothing - I did a string search for the text that displays on the console during the crash and NOTHING gets logged anywhere in /var/log/* .
I have to call into the provider and ask them to take a screenshot of the console since nothing shows in dmesg.
Why would /var/log/dmesg not record kernel panics, or such?
