You probably don't have the syslog daemon configured to store debugging messages from the kernel in /var/log/messages. Maybe they're getting stored in /var/log/kernel, or maybe they're not getting stored at all. Take a look in /etc/syslog.conf to find out. If necessary, you can always add a line like this: kern.* /var/log/kernel Alternatively, you can use the dmesg program to read all of the kernel's log messages.
