/var/adm/messages vs /var/log/messages

The /var/adm/messages in Solaris seem to log more system messages/errors compared to /var/log/messages in Linux. I checked the log level in Linux and they seem OK. Is there any other log file that contains the messages or is it just that Linux doesn't log great many things?

NAME

       grub-install - install GRUB on your drive

SYNOPSIS

       grub-install [OPTION] install_device

DESCRIPTION

       Install GRUB on your drive.

       -h, --help
	      print this message and exit

       -v, --version
	      print the version information and exit

       --root-directory=DIR
	      install GRUB images under the directory DIR instead of the root directory

       --grub-shell=FILE
	      use FILE as the grub shell

       --no-floppy
	      do not probe any floppy drive

       --force-lba
	      force GRUB to use LBA mode even for a buggy BIOS

       --recheck
	      probe a device map even if it already exists

       INSTALL_DEVICE can be a GRUB device name or a system device filename.

       grub-install  copies GRUB images into the DIR/boot directory specfied by --root-directory, and uses the grub shell to install grub into the
       boot sector.

       The grub source distribution carries this script to ease the installation of grub as a boot loader. In Suse Linux however,  grub  installa-
       tion  is  much  better handled by Yast; use of this script is generally discouraged and therefore unsupported. Consequently, the script has
       been renamed to grub-install.unsupported.

       In order to (re-)install grub for the currently running system, simply use Yast. For an installation aiming  at	a  differing  system,  the
       crafting  of an appropriate device.map and grub shell script is strongly advised, e.g.  "grub --batch --device-map=target-device.map < tar-
       get-grub.conf"
