Some machines clear the dmesg buffer at boot, others don't. This is one of the ones that don't. It's useful if you have a crash, because the DDB buffer is likely to survive after a reboot. > kvm_mkdb(31159): syscall 16 .. > kvm_mkdb(31287): syscall 16 > bzip2(6396): syscall 5 > smtpctl(24717): syscall 5 > smtpctl(4120): syscall 5 I think these particular ones should all be gone with the newer version that you're now running.
