本文详细介绍了Linux命令dmesg的功能、语法、参数及其主要应用，包括如何显示内核环缓冲区内容、清理内容、查看内核启动信息等，并提供了多个使用示例，如将开机信息发邮件、浏览dmesg输出信息、查看dmesg尾部信息、安装SS7卡驱动时的内核日志以及打印并清除内核环形缓冲区。
linux命令dmesg用法详解
功能说明：显示开机信息。
语 法：dmesg [-cn][-s <缓冲区大小>]
补充说明：kernel会将开机信息存储在ring buffer中。您若是开机时来不及查看信息，可利用dmesg来查看。开机信息亦保存在/var/log目录中，名称为dmesg的文件里。
参 数：
-c 显示信息后，清除ring buffer中的内容。
-s<缓冲区大小> 预设置为8196，刚好等于ring buffer的大小。
-n 设置记录信息的层级。
主要应用：
dmesg用来显示内核环缓冲区（kernel-ring buffer）内容，内核将各种消息存放在这里。在系统引导时，内核将与硬件和模块初始化相关的信息填到这个缓冲区中。内核环缓冲区中的消息对于诊断系统问题 通常非常有用。在运行dmesg时，它显示大量信息。通常通过less或grep使用管道查看dmesg的输出，这样可以更容易找到待查信息。例如，如果发现硬盘性能低下，可以使用dmesg来检查它们是否运行在DMA模式：
$dmesg | grep DMA
...
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xf008-0xf00f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA
...
上面几行可以说明每个IDE设备正在什么模式下运行。如果以太网连接出现问题，那么可以在dmesg日志中搜索eth：
$dmesg | grep eth
forcedeth.c: Reverse Engineered nForce
ethernet driver. Version 0.49.
eth0: forcedeth.c: subsystem: 0147b:1c00
bound to 0000:00:04.0
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
如果一切正常，那么dmesg显示每个网卡的硬件配置信息。如果某项系统服务未能得到正确的配置，dmesg日志很快就填满错误消息，这是诊断故障的良好起点。
还可以用来探测系统内核模块的加载情况，比如要检测ACPI的加载情况，使用dmesg | grep acpi
dmesg |egrep -i ''(apm|acpi)''
Kernel command line: vga=274 quiet console=ttyS3,9600acpi=no-idleoot=/dev/hda3

扩展阅读二：dmesg命令使用示例
使用示例
示例一 将开机信息发邮件
dmesg > boot.messages
and mail the boot.messages file to whoever can debug their problem.
[root@new55 ~]# dmesg >boot.messages
[root@new55 ~]# ls -l boot.messages
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15838 12-09 12 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 
15838 12-09 12 免费 end_of_the_skype_highlighting:55 boot.messages
[root@new55 ~]# mail -s "Boot Log of Linux Server" public@web3q.net <boot.messages
[root@new55 ~]#
