You may be a victim of the "feature" that ( for hardware related reasons) the dmesg buffer doesn't get cleared after reboot so you actually have 2 dmesgs, (or maybe even more ?) one after the other, in dmesg buffer. This can easily be overlooked by scrolling back to fast. The exact reasons are somewhere in the archives. Alf
