Are there no error messages on Console.app?
Well... I've rebooted since then and it looks like Console starts afresh after each reboot. I know it looks like I'm deliberately trying to erase the evidence you all could use to help be, but I assure you it's just ignorance. I spent several years in Linux learning the ins and outs of the operating system; when I moved to the Mac, I wanted to kick back and not worry about that stuff.
No I am pretty sure Console does not erase the logs. You want the console.log files, not the system logs. Look in: /Library/Logs/ Console/501 or something similar. I have the following files there: console.log console.log.1 console.log.3 console.log.5 console.log.7 console.log.9 console.log.0 console.log.2 console.log.4 console.log.6 console.log.8
The numbered ones are the backups. So somewhere there would be your answer I would guess, if it is not in console.log.
Keep in mind, Console.app only shows you a part of console.log, the most recent part, so there is more info in the file. Also careful, these are big files, TextMate might not be entirely happy with them.
