is there a way to slow down the text displayed during startup? I am trying to see if my ethernet card driver is getting loaded (along with other related data), but the stuff scrolls by too fast...
:confused:

You don't need to slow down the startup messages.
Once you are logged in (to console) you can use [Shift]+[PgUp]/[Shift]+[PgDn] to scroll through what has rolled over the screen - usually all the way back to PCI-listings, straight after startup.
The 'dmesg' command is fine (I'd use 'dmesg|less', so I could scroll up and down with [PgUp]/[PgDn]).
Other than that, a wise place to look is in the file /var/log/messages
Lokking for cards (and if they're loaded) /proc/interrupts and /proc/devices are nice places to look. Use 'less /proc/devices'. Less is a good text pager.
