boot log

[eis]

Hello together!

I have two basic questions.

I would like to know, where I can see my boot messages. Thats number one. Because in /var/log I don't find it.
---

Secondly, I happened to find out that some services or deamons start certain services at boottime, which I don't like.
for example:
During the boot runlevel there is a line saying:
""Device initiated services: net.eth0 net.eth1"

and 3 lines later I get 2 errors that net.eth0 and net.eth1 "cannot start until runlevel boot has completed. @"

Now these two are my ethernet and mz ipw2200 wireless LAN, whcih I want to be started (and which are actually started without problems) in the DEFAULT runlevel later.
---

So the only problem is that I want to know who does this??

And another thing:

My modules being loaded at boot:
Usually I conifgure my kernel modules in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6

I list all the modules by hand that I need. And I see in /lib/modules which ones I need. This is I guess not the fastest way, but I don't know it any better at the moment.
But I found out that some modules are nevertheless loaded automatically. Can you explain why and who does this please?

Thanks,
eis

As far as your first question, you want the command dmesg and file /var/log/dmesg respectively.
