use 'dmesg -s 100000' if it's just dmesg(8) that needs help.
If it's the kernel buffer filling up, you can rebuild the kernel
after changing CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT, but it's easier just to boot
using this:
log_buf_len=n Sets the size of the printk ring buffer, in bytes.
Format: { n | nk | nM }
n must be a power of two. The default size
is set in the kernel config file.
