note that /var/log/dmesg is just a snapshot of the output of the program dmesg taken after boot time. the dmesg command dumps the current kernel message buffer, but I don't believe it has a live 'follow' mode.
that said, most stuff written to the kernel message buffer gets processed by syslog and put in /var/log/messages
