I'm booting with -v verbose mode and I see some error messages. How can I get a LOG file to copy paste that messages to this forum to ask for help ???
Is the only way to take 2 or 3 photos ????
thank you :)

If you have an second system running (Leo / SL), you can look into the system.log of that problem system partition - there are all -v verbose messages listed.
At least that when the kernel starts up. Not the very early messages come from chameleon it self, like EBIOS error or system reboots.

Chameleon doesnt keep a log, I think someone requested that feature but the developers seem to be very very busy all the time...
The most you can do is put this in your com.apple.Boot.plist
<key>Wait</key>
<string>y</string>
so chameleon will stop and ask for a key press before loading the kernel, some messages are still not visible (the earlier messages when booting about EBIOS, boot0 done, etc, before the screen flicks get erase from the screen).
About OS messages, if you can access the HFS partition from Windows or Linux, the logs are stored in /var/log, kernel.log and system.log mostly is what you are looking for.
