I am having trouble with some of my modules at during

I don't see the errors. How can I find out what these errors and/or
warning messages are once Debian has booted?
Thanks in advance!

After making my post, someone corrected my misinformation; it's not X or
gdm that's causing the scrollback history to disappear; it's the
switching of virtual terminals that does it. gdm automatically switches
the vt to vt7 (be default), so that's what erased the history. So I
learned something from this exchange also.
