Hi!

One of my remote i386 machines preserves the dmesg buffer between
reboots, and others not.  What features cause this buffer to be
preserved?  I saw this on Alphas, and thought that this was caused
by the "soft" reboot, where (probably) memory contents is not
destroyed.  But I have never seen this before of i386's:

[...]
Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system process `vnlru' to stop...stopped
Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system process `bufdaemon' to stop...stopped
Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system process `syncer' to stop...stopped

syncing disks...
done

Can anyone shed some light on this?
