It seems that certain messages are not recorded by dmesg: such as isapnp
messages. (I've never been able to see the board ID and "activated OK" message
in dmesg -- only on the console.) Anybody can explain why?? I'd like to have
dmesg record *every* bootup message, so that I don't have to avoid switching
VC's right after bootup in order not to erase important messages that may not
appear in dmesg.
