dmesg is full of info about all your memory, bios, power management,
hardware (cpu, usb, video, keyboard, cd drive etc) hence so long and
scary. the trick is looking for lines about your hard drive(s) or file
systems. i'm not experienced enough to comment about my viewing of it
and will leave that to others, but am interested to know how the machine
is performing or behaving now that it has rebooted? are you still
seeing the issues?
and are you paying attention to the hints about backing up your data?
you can always buy another hard drive and install another distro, but
your data is another matter . . .

/var/whatever is hda1
~/.kde/whatever is hdb
/music and all the bulk storage is a network drive on another machine.
Look in /var/log/syslog, /var/log/syslog, and the output from dmesg | more
well there is no /var/log/syslog to look into, and the output of dmesg | more
(below) scares the willies out of me.
