Hi,
Is it possible to get the dmesg for the boot prior to the current one?
I'm trying to remotely upgrade from the 2.4 to 2.6 kernel. I followed
the migration guide, but I got something wrong because my server

FYI, the bootmisc init script already does this for you, or at least it
does with the ~x86
