eep357 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Since it sounds like you may be having trouble booting OSX to do the options above, they are physically located in /var/log and /var/log/asl/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284703-kernel-log-files-physical-location/#findComment-1870279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
