This is a job of the BIOS, and I wasn't trying to explain the garbage,

This does not explai
Hello,
I have noticed for some time now that the top of dmesg after a reboot
often contains garbage.
The more strange thing is that it some times also contains console
output from the previous shutdown sequence.
Example of somewhat garbled data:
%dmesg |head
module "/bo\^?t/kErnel/snd_via82
