Capturing Boot Sequences

Posted:
in Genius Bar edited January 2014
Does anyone know a way to capture to a log file or a screens shot all the information that rolls by when you start in verbose mode (Apple plus v keys)?



I've got a driver problem I'm trying to figure out.

    Just open the Terminal, type dmesg | more and see what went flying by on the screen during your verbose-mode boot. Try man dmesg for a bit more information on how it works.

    dmesg is soooo usefull! I love it! Love it!



    When using a Unix-like OS you will find dmesg to be a very usefill tool. So many problems I have run into using Linux were spotted in dmesg.
