Run modprobe with the -s (or --syslog) option. Note that this won't print anything on the screen, though, which is probably why the boot scripts don't use it. A more general solution is eventually to cause all output from the initialization scripts to be logged. There's been some discussion about this on debian-devel. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
