Bug Description
Binary package hint: sysvinit
If /var/log/dmesg does not exist when bootmisc.sh is run, the savelog command causes chown/chmod errors to be displayed. This can be easily fixed by checking if the /var/log/dmesg file exists before rotating it. A patch that does exactly that is attached.
