Not able to generate boot.log.
Hi I m not able to find anything under boot.log file.
Here is the output of boot.log files.

As you can see nothing is getting written inside the boot.log files .

How can i make all the events to be logged under boot.log file?

Code:
# ls -ltr /var/log | grep boot
-rw------- 1 root root      0 Jan 25 15:59 boot.log.4
-rw------- 1 root root      0 Feb  1 18:38 boot.log.3
-rw------- 1 root root      0 Feb  9 00:00 boot.log.2
-rw------- 1 root root      0 Feb 16 17:57 boot.log.1
-rw------- 1 root root      0 Feb 20 04:02 boot.log

That is the Oracle rebadged version of RHEL5.2. boot logging is not available on that particular version. See http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-9835.
