Thanks, that was it. Before I was only grepping "/var/log/messages" when
searching for my last dmesg's. When I grepped all the files in "/var/log/"
I found the missing dmesg's in the old messages files (like messages.2, .3,
etc.). I wasn't expecting my dmesg's to be rotated out that quickly, but
with all the ntpdate logs filling up my messages files I guess it doesn't
take long for the messages files to rotate.
