16 Just seen this, following my other reply.

18 `tail -f /var/log/messages` in one window whilst running the `modprobe
19 -v e1000` in another.

21 `dmesg` should show the same stuff as /var/log/messages (in this
22 instance, at least), but using `tail -f /var/log/messages` it's easy
23 to hit enter a few times (to clear some space on the screen) and then
24 see what's happening in real-time. Although there's probably a very
25 good reason for it, it's sometimes frustrating that `dmesg` isn't time
26 stamped.
