[solved] How to pause startup messages running?

Hi all,
I'm having some warning messages during the boot up process, but I can not completely read them since they pass too quickly.
I have tried reading the

/var/log/messages.log

and

/var/log/syslog.log

files, but the warning messages are not on these files. Executing

dmesg

doesn't show the warning messages I'm looking for either.
Finally, I have tried pressing the pause/break key during the boot, but it doesn't pause the process (I remember it worked before, maybe with another kernel or distribution:/ ).

Does anyone know what can I do to read them all?
Thanks in advance
