It seems not to create any entry.

This is what I did to test:

moved /var/log/syslog away.

rebooted into the failing kernel.

two lines are shown in the console.

The second saying that the initial ramdisk is loaded


then nothing

No entry in /var/log/syslog when I log into kernel 4.4.0-104 recovery mode (the 
failing version is -108)
