Willem here.
You could try the boot.log in /var/log.
What is actually not working?

Tim replying.  Startup messages should be emitted using specific
kernel-log facilities.  The absence of such messages from your
`dmesg` output suggests one of a couple possible situations:

- the drivers are emitting the text via a facility that doesn't log
 things in the kernel's logs.  Maybe using the standard printf()
 functions instead of the kernel-log-specific printk() function

- the "ok, done" messages could be the doubletalk emitting responses
 to changes in settings sent by the driver.  That is, the driver does
 something like send a "hey, set the volume to 80%" and the
 doubletalk replies speaking "ok, done" without the messages ever
 appearing in the kernel or driver software

There might be other situations, but those are the first ones that
occur to me.  I'm not sure how I'd diagnose them though.  Perhaps the
doubletalk driver has the ability to increase logging levels and send
them to a specified file?

Mark peveto here,
Hey Tim,
Is there another set of boot up messages I could be missing?  These
don't quite souhnd lime what doubletalk is reading when it comes
up.  What reads is followed by a lot of "ok, done" type stuff, and
I don't see that here.

Tim here.  You should be able to use the `dmesg` utility to dump
the startup messages, piping through `less` or dumping them into a
text-file for your perusal in your favorite text-editor:

  $ dmesg | less

or

  $ dmesg > startup_messages.txt

Where in debian do I find a record of the boot messages?  It
seems when I have my doubletalk connected, it fails to load
some sort of module right away, but doubletalk is talking too
fast for me to make it out. Thanks.
