are you using boot splash or anything similar ?
>are you using boot splash or anything similar ? yes, I used genspash. But with kernel without genspash the same problem .
/etc/conf.d/rc notes the fact that bootlog doesnt work with bootsplash related stuff ... so unless you feel like posting a patch to fix this, i'll leave this closed as a known quirk
>bootlog doesnt work with bootsplash related I didn't use bootsplash, I use genspash. And as I said before without genspash I have the same problem. The problem is in "CONSOLE=/dev/tty1" in grub.conf, this parameter advise genkernel, if remove this parameter all works fine with and without gensplash.
bootsplash/gensplash, doesnt matter boot logging doesnt work with changing of console
