The kernel message ring buffer (that's what dmesg(1) displays) is
preserved across reboot(8)s/shutdown -r's and accumulates the messages
even if you reboot into different kernel versions. A cold start
(after a -p shutdown) will start with an empty message buffer.

The standard rc setup saves the current set of boot messages
in /var/run/dmesg.boot. This becomes helpful when later kernel
messages displace the boot msgs in the ring buffer.

Nope.

Just upgrading your kernel is fine. A newer kernel will generally
have no problem with an older user land version.
