The dmesg command prints out the kernel messages in that are in the
buffer. The only time it will print out the boot messages are just after
boot. After that, other messages come into the buffer, and syslogd and
klogd remove messages from the buffer, and process them. If you want to
see the boot messages, try:
less /var/log/dmesg
RedHat puts the boot messages in this file as part of the boot process.
