The correct parameter to set is the msgbuf_size to 64K

>From the manual:

message-buffer-size msgbuf_size
        The size of the message buffer that is used to store boot log
messages.
        Default value: 4096

Example:

generic:
        msgbuf_size = 16384
        message-buffer-size = 16384

        in the sysconfigtab .



Original Message:

After I recently an extra controller to my kernel configuration and
rebooted, the boot records that appear in uerf and the messages were
truncated. Only about 5 lines were about instead of the previous 60-70.
This machine has a lot of scsi controllers and disks, including an
HSZ50.

I suspect that the kernel parameter binlog-buffer-size is too small.


Has anyone seen this problem before and am I on the right track?

How can I determine the current value of binlog-buffer-size? The admin
manual says something between 32kb and 1MB.
