To get closer to the solution, you could change /var/log into a
"permanent" (other than volatile) directory and direct the syslog into
a file so that you have the files across reboots. Otoh you have to
check other logfiles as they will grow until your fs is full.

cd /var ; rm -f log ; mkdir log

Modify /etc/syslog.conf, change some lines to these:

DESTINATION="file" # log destinations (buffer file remote)
LOGFILE=/var/log/messages # file: where to log
ROTATESIZE=512 # file: rotate log if grown beyond X
[kByte] (busybox 1.2+)
ROTATEGENS=5 # file: keep X generations of rotated
logs (busybox 1.2+)

Then "killall -HUP syslogd". You will see a file "/var/log/messages".
Let it shutdown and look into messages after a new boot.
