what I have not found is a solution.
Anybody else figure out how to capture the boot log?

<pre wrap="">When you boot, the final log, in addition to being appended
to /var/log/messages is written out to /var/log/dmesg. This is the
current boot as its overwritten by a new boot.

I did look there but it does not seem to have what was shown during the
boot process. During boot I see a module load error and I know it has
"cpufreq" in it. I wanted to see the exact text of the message but it
does not appear in either dmsg or messages. I can probably figure out
the modprobe problem without it but it would be easier if it was
actually recorded some place. <br>
