Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • On boot, there is no /var/log/dmesg file after install of RHEL8 or RHEL 9.
  • I can get dmesg file via command dmesg, is this new design for RHEL 8 or RHEL 9, or do I need to modify some configuration to generate it automatically?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
