Subject: can't find startup messages since april in /var/log/messages using 2.4.18

For some strange reason I can't find where my "startup messagges" are being 
stored. I booted up twice this morning (052502) and only get only 1 line in 
/var/log/messages which is:
May 25 05:10:05 localhost syslogd 1.3-3: restart.

All boots since April 11 have only one such entry recorded. "dmesg" and a 
"vi" of "messages" show a full log journal for April 11.
I have did a "df" and all file sytems have free space.

Of course, the meesages do appear on the console at startup.

Any suggestions?

Floyd,
