kernel log file
 

Is there some sort of bootlog? Cause my kernel reports some errors with my mouse, but it is already of the screen before I can read the entire message...

Sometimes, depending on the distro, you can hit cntrl-alt-f11, and it will show a list of all the services that booted.

If that does not work, type Linuxconf at a command line prompt. This requires root access, so either be logged in as root or su.

In there is a record of logs you can select and look at.

Try this in the command prompt:

dmesg

that will show the entire set of messages that appeared on the screen during boot.

check the file /var/log/messages
