Debian Sarge - Boot Messages

Debian stores (in /var/log) kernel speaks and userland service messages in several log files, with some information duplicated in two or more logs.
Kernel messages are stored in kern.log and dmesg (here are kept only the messages regarding the last boot.
Here follow some examples of a Debian Sarge running on a Toshiba satellite P10 laptop.
