The dmesg command displays the system messages contained in the kernel ring buffer. By using this command immediately after booting your computer, you will see the boot messages.

DMESG: 

dmesg (for "diagnostic message") is a command on Unix-like operating systems that prints the message buffer of the kernel. This buffer contains a variety of important messages from those printed during boot to those used for debugging software. This information may also be stored to disk via a logging daemon, such as syslog.
