Watching the console during a reboot I see some “ROM Error” messages that flash by too quickly to examine in detail.
The HTML VNC console does not seem to allow copying text.
Is this logged anywhere?
How do I capture this to submit a ticket?

Hey friend,
The boot process should be accessible by typing “dmesg” via console or SSH. Over SSH you’d be able to copy the text. You could also do something like this to generate a link to view the content via browser:
dmesg | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us
That would spit out a short URL you could visit to see all of the output.

ROM errors are typically logged to the system journal, which can be viewed using the dmesg command. To capture the ROM error messages during a reboot, you can use the following steps:
- dmesg -w > rom_error_log.txt
- dmesg -w -k
rom_error_log.txt file.You can then review the rom_error_log.txt file to see the ROM error messages that occurred during the reboot.
Hope that this helps!
