dmesg is only showing the messages in the printk's buffer, which is fairly 
small, about 16K. However, on any  standard distribution, the syslogd/klogd 
daemons are saving that buffer as instructed by /etc/syslogd.conf. Standard 
files for saving kernel messages are /var/log/kernel.log, /var/log/messages.
