Hello all, I am asking here because no one on questions has been able to
help.
I have run into a very frustrating problem.  I am
using standard printf statements for status info while debugging the
parallel port zip driver in PS2 mode.  For a reason I have yet to discover,
my messages are no longer appearing consistently in my dmesg output.

As I move through the debug process, I will enable and disable blocks of
debug output, but when I run dmesg, what I see is not the same as what I saw
while the machine was rebooting.  These same messages usually end up in
/var/log/messages, but I can't figure out the pattern.  I saw that
messages.4 was not gzipped like the others.  Could i have overflowed syslogd
and messed things up?

I would be happy to post info besides my syslog.conf, but I didn't want to
clog the list.  My work has come to a standstill, since I cannot access the
debug output.  Please help!  Hopefully it is only a small issue that I can
learn from and fix promptly.

jm
