Kernel log is shown by the dmesg command.  The kernel has a certain
amount of memory for the log, so only older messages are not shown once
the memory is exhausted.  However, it's normally enough memory to hold
the full log from the boot time.

Kernel messages are normally logged to /var/log/messages, but the debug
messages may be omitted.  The kernel messages during the boot are
preserved in /var/log/dmesg until the next reboot.
