when boot fails (and system crashes), it write nothing in /var/log: there are only logs of the previous successful boot (with nomodeset option).

my procedure:
1- boot without nomodeset: system crashes.
2- boot with another linux distribution, then I mount partition of point 1, but in /mnt/var/log there are no logs of failed boot. It wrote nothing.

So, I don't know how get logs from a failed boot. If there is a guide, I'm eager to read it. Many thanks.
