I think bootlogd has been disabled in Ubuntu for the last several issues.  I have asked about this same problem and AIR, the only reply was that it was disabled and can't be made to work.  I would like to get bootlogd working so if you find out how, please let me and the list know the solution.
Regarding your info needed to troubleshoot, you can probably find all the boot messages outputs in /var/log/syslog, dmesg and /var/log/messages, debug and kernel logs.  Not a nice solution but most, if not all, info should be there.
