Text console, I suppose, tty1 - tty6: the ones before entering graphical
environment.

It seems to be the case.  I found those messages in dmesg's output, that, as
such, I could redirect to a file.  This maybe explains why I didn't manage to
send those messages to a file by redirecting update-grub's output: they were
not part of it - if I understand well - but part of dmesg's output!

Thanks,
