Thanks, that was it. Before I was only grepping "/var/log/messages" when searching for my last dmesg's. When I grepped all the files in "/var/log/" I found the missing dmesg's in the old messages files (like messages.2, .3, etc.). I wasn't expecting my dmesg's to be rotated out that quickly, but with all the ntpdate logs filling up my messages files I guess it doesn't take long for the messages files to rotate.
