Well, yes, I start with dmesg, and I keep that output in a directory of
configuration data. Also /var/log/messages. Then I use a reboot, an
editor on a neighbouring machine, and Shift-PageUp/Down to read it off.
Nothing too high-tech.
I have several Debian machines, subtly different, some being rather modern
PnP machines. If I get a problem, I have plenty to help me including
the installation floppies,
all the .deb files I have installed,
output files like the one I quoted, ifconfig, route, various /proc files,
records of how I configured the installation, kernel, X, network etc.
CMOS settings, etc. etc.
Cheers,
