I started to use liquorix kernel on Manjaro. Today I found out the the systemd journal is always missing the first 74 messages. This behaviour is true for the 5.7-10 as well as the most recent 5.7-12 release.

liquorix journal starts with this:

:: Code ::

While the Manjaro kernel is logging everything:

I have to add that this is only true for my laptop while my desktop PC is logging fine.

And my laptop is using LUKS encryption for /.

I compared the kernel config files Manjaro vs. Liquorix. Could be that this issue is related to the kernel log buffer size:

:: Code ::
Manjaro has 128 kB:
CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT=17


:: Code ::
Liquorix has 64 kB:
CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT=16

Confirmed. I built a new kernel with
:: Code ::
CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT=17
and that solved the issue. The systemd log is complete now.

@damentz:
Can you make this a default setting?

Hi mbod,

I increased the buffer [1] and this change will go out in the next release. Thanks for researching and finding the solution!
