dmesg is everything sent from the kernel for logging (ie. the historical content of the dmesg(8) command).
messages is basically a syslog fall-through (a bit like /var/log/syslog)

Hi everyone.
I just wondered what's the difference between /var/log/dmesg, and /var/log/messages?
Why do we have 2 log files that are similar?
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts
