When I am getting errors at boot, which logs contain the errors, where are the logs located and how can I tell if the errors are serious and what to do about them?

/var/log/dmesg has kernel output /var/log/messages has the syslog output, including a dump of dmseg after boot

I don't know where the [ OK ] and [ FAILED ] messages go, if anywhere.

OK, I got my USB stick thingy to mount. The problem was syntax. I had written "users.noauto" instead of "users,noauto" Here is some output from the terminal:

I didn't copy the whole dmesg, but picked out some of the interesting bits. I don't want to overload with info as I am not sure what to look for. I hope someone gets something out of this.

BTW, it seems like Firewire isn't working properly. Hardware browser doesn't seem to pick up my external Firewire drive. I haven't created any mount points, but then I can't do that before I know where the drive is located on the system.

Cheers,
