[Bug 1280287] [NEW] tahr /var/log/syslog missing?

 

Public bug reported:

Having problems just lately with tahr.  It's been running fine for months.
Screen wil lock up. Ctrl-Alt-F1 log in, doesn't ask for password.  Have to reboot.
Does not reboot successfully.
Do an e2fsck from another partition comes up clean, no errors.
Now tahr boots, but no syslog?
