There are several error on red flashing by when boot.
I wish there where an easy way to either make a text file
or a way to stop booting and write the warning down on a paper.
I do trust that one of them say something rather similar to this one

getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0 ...

Maybe not exactly like that but rather similar.

I boot using this code. I tried to add debug to it but had no knowledge how

title Linux Mint 12 RC works ramdisk_size=1048576 root=/dev/ram
find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /linuxmint-12-gnome-dvd-32bit-rc.iso
kernel /LM12/casper/vmlinuz rw file=/cdrom/preseed/mint.seed boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/linuxmint-12-gnome-dvd-32bit-rc.iso ramdisk_size=1048576 root=/dev/ram noeject noprompt
initrd /LM12/casper/initrd.lz


Sure I can sit with Smartphone and try to catch it but I am a slow guy and the camera has a delay too so not sure if it is practical.

So if you know how one can get a file by adding some code to the kernel like that tell the boot to make an error file that would be cool.
