After you've completed booting, do $ less /var/log/dmesg (btw, when I preface a line with $, it indicates that you can do it as a user... when the # prompt is given, it means you must be root to execute that command) Come to think of it, I don't recall whether 'less' is inculded. You might have to use 'more' instead. - Steve
