You may be able to get a dmesg using a serial console. If your laptop has a serial port, that is. I'm not sure how common those ports (still) are, given the omnipresence of USB ports these days. Should your laptop not have a serial port, you may want to try your luck with a USB-to-serial device. YMMV as I have never needed such devices (yet). Finally, if you're wondering how to set up a serial console, the FAQ (such as item 4.15) should get you going. Hope this helps. If you get things working, I'm sure the maintainers of the i386-laptop page (see the archives) would love to hear your report.
