# Boot messages

- Watch during boot,
  see what's slow
- To see boot messages,
  edit /boot/grub/menu.lst:

      title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic
      uuid 47158fea-77cf-48ab-8b95-1cdf73cd1e12
      kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=... ro quiet splash
      initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic

When you see something that's slow, it's sometimes the next thing that's actually the problem.

But how do you see those messages? Ubuntu usually only shows you one at a time.
