I wonder if we need the dmesg for these as well. Plus it is not the same
(wasn't/was not) which is maybe confusing. Any objection against the
original dmesg messages removal?

We had this discussion about three months ago and decided to keep the
existing messages:

I forgot. Thanks for reminding me. So could we at least have the
messages 100% same? Thanks.

Seems like a reasonable request, David A.?
