 It should all go to /var/log/messages each time; you can get it from
 there.
 
 Another option is to temporarily add something like
 
    dmesg > /var/log/dmesg.`date +%s`
 
 to /etc/rc.local. That will dump it to e.g. /var/log/dmesg.1227831593,
 where the number is the current time from each boot. Then you can pick
 the ones you want.
