I doubt any were, specially if you're using a journaled file
system. Which you should be doin.

'dmesg' is a binary that gives current messages.
I believe what you're lookin for is 'cat /var/log/dmesg |less'
which will gives you the mesgs from when you last booted. The
mesgs you're lookin for won't be there tho. Without knowing what
type(s) of file system you're using, you'll just need to look
around in var/log/ and it subdirectories for what you want. I'd
use 'mc' to do that. Caution tho, warnings are not errors.
