Kernal log

[Waleed_2]

It is based upon your /etc/syslog.conf file. If you are having only default configuration of syslog.conf then event messages will be in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log or /var/adm/message also.

dmesg -c will gives diagnostic messages.

/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

What is logged in syslog/log is controlled by /etc/syslog.conf file.

It should be something like,
# cat /etc/syslog.conf
# @(#)B.11.11_LR
#
# syslogd configuration file.
#
# See syslogd(1M) for information about the format of this file.
#
mail.debug /var/adm/syslog/mail.log
*.info;mail.none /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
*.alert /dev/console
*.alert root
*.emerg *

You can use dmesg for reading messages from syslog. man dmesg for more details..
