sorry to be a numptie but as I was booting my brand new fc6 install I noticed a fatal error pop up as the system was loading.

whats the name of the file that keeps all that information so i can find out if the fatal error is actually a fatal error for the machine, or a fatal error for a piece of hardware that I may or may not need anyway.

dmesg doesnt give me the same thing, at least i can't find fatal in the output.

any help greatly appreciated

I believe boot messages are located in:

/var/log/dmesg
