I don't have the answer to your question, but you can run "dmesg" to
view the console messages. The buffer is limited in size, so you'll
want to run it immediately after boot. I prefer to use a init.d
script, set up to run last, to run "dmesg > /var/run/dmesg.boot", so I
have a copy handy at all times.
