[Bug 803246] Re: di syslog lines truncated

[Michael Tokarev]

busybox syslogd truncates input lines at 255 bytes. There's debian bug
report about this, #519356.  In debian, we consider it is a
documentation bug, but indeed, it may be possible to increase buffer
size a bit.

Title:
  di syslog lines truncated

Status in “busybox” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “busybox” package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  pxe netboot installer, I was looking at syslog and noticed the kernel
  params are truncated.  The params did get though because they are
  having the expected effect and the whole line shows up in dmesg.  Not
  a huge problem, it makes debugging annoying.

  pxe boot config:
  label ubuntu-oneiric-i386-handsoff
          kernel ubuntu/oneiric/i386/linux
          append initrd=ubuntu/oneiric/i386/initrd.gz root=/dev/rd/0 rw locale=en_US keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us console-setup/layoutcode=us console-setup/ask_detect=false netcfg/wireless_wep= netcfg/choose_interface=eth0 netcfg/get_hostname= apt-setup/proposed=true DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 url=http://shaz/ubuntu/oneiric/preseed.cfg tasksel:tasksel/first="ubuntu-desktop" -- vga=6

  line from dmesg:
