Just an FYI:  this is generally a bad idea.  There are many very
important lines that won't show up in a grep for kworld or dvb, which
would be required by anybody who actually knows how to review the log
file.

Far better to yank the board for ten minutes, do a boot with the one
card, run dmesg once, and then post the results.  There won't be too
much in there that accumulates in there in the 2-3 minutes it takes to
boot the computer and get to a prompt (probably a couple thousand
lines at most).

Regards,

Devin
