Hmm.

I think we chose dmesg.boot for a reason before, but I'm not sure I
remember the reason.

Maybe we thought $(dmesg) could have rolled over with noisy debug messages,
and thus hidden names of devices we want to identify, and therefore
dmesg.boot was more reliable?

Here's a thought:  Should we look at both $(dmesg) and dmesg.boot ??
