Hi all
I know that this is a stupid question but can anyone tell me where is a log file for boot process if there is any. I have some error messages at the end, after last deamon starts and it goes too fast to the gdm so I cant read it.

There's a Wiki article on how to stop the screen clearing at boot, or use Scroll Lk.

kernel related stuff goes to: /var/log/dmesg.log
daemon related stuff to: /var/log/daemon.log

Not really what the OP is asking though.

What you need is bootlogd:
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/search/?q=bootlogd
Start this in the boot script and it will log all the messages that you see during booting to a log file
Bootlogd runs in the background and copies all strings sent to the /dev/console device to a logfile. If the logfile is not accessible, the messages will be buffered in‐memory until it is.
From the man page for bootlogd

Thanks for the reply.
Screen clearing didnt work or I dont understand how to do.
Bootlogd is much more promising but it doesnt work with arch for a moment. There are some treads about that problem. I will wait for a bootlogd solution and try to be faster than my boot sequence
