I will remember that in the near future about being more discriptive in the subject line. But at times it is difficult exspecially when you do not know what you are trying to do technically. I will work on that though.
As for what you asked for dealing with dmesg, since I have no idea what it is exactly that you are looking for I just copied the entire session, and here it is:
"All my life I wanted to be someone; I guess I should have been more
specific."
