Debian Minimal DMESG Issue

Hi all,

I started with the Debian 6 minimal install and updated it to Debian 7. I couldn't find a Debian 7 Minimal and the Debian 7 Standard was installing stuff (apache, etc) I don't want to deal with. I could have just removed all the fluff, but I always prefer a minimal install.

Anyway, after some of the basic post-install tweaks (openvz console, tzdata) I went to check the logs. DMESG gives the following output:

Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(00005429){t:'T';sz:0} arg(bfa9a508) on /dev/tty1

The /var/log/dmesg is completely empty:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root adm 0 Jun 21 23:57 dmesg

Any ideas why this is happening?

Are the dmesg entries being returned to the host?


Thanks in advance.
