Keep in mind that an initramfs is nothing more than an archive file |
| 8 |
containing some kind of init implementation (often just a shell |
| 9 |
script) that the kernel unpacks and launches. It does whatever it is |
| 10 |
designed to do. Some are more bare-boned than others. |

I personally use dracut which has quite a few bells and whistles. If |
| 13 |
you're using systemd as has already been pointed out it runs the |
| 14 |
journal during early boot and merges it into the system journal when |
| 15 |
it pivots. I believe that if you're not using systemd it captures |
| 16 |
whatever it does to a log file in /run, but I don't think it |
| 17 |
necessarily runs a full syslog listening to /dev/log and so on. That |
| 18 |
said, nothing is really running that early in boot so as long as it |
| 19 |
logs its own work you're fine. Often the level of logging is |
| 20 |
configurable. |
