Comment 26 for bug 98955

I tried the method Pär Lidén explained on gutsy_x64_86.

apt-get source sysvinit
sudo apt-get build-dep sysvinit
cd sysvninit*
debuild -us -uc
sudo cp src/bootlogd /sbin/

(attached bootlogd for gutsy x64 perhaps someone else will have try with it...)

remove "-c" option in init.d/bootlogd...

when running manual i get this:
$ sudo bootlogd:
$ bootlogd: cannot find console device 136:1 in /dev

The manpage states something with newer console format (other minor number). It also states that bootlogd tries to get console device from console param.

So I added console=/dev/console to the grub bootstring but this rendered my machine unbootable.

Question which comes up for me - What is a linux box without possibilities to debug its startup behaviour?
Hey, there are people outside which have there systems running outside a vm or headless!
