[SWLUG] kernel "screen of death"

[Mark Summerfield]

Hi,

Twice in the past week my computer has failed to boot first time. Seems
to go wrong when doing USB-related stuff.

I reset it and so far it has always booted second time. But when I do
dmesg I get the message for the boot I've just done, not the failure
boot, so I can't tell you why it failed! Is it possible to get the
previous boot message?

Thanks!
