I would like to see the OS messages as the system boots.  Currently after the OS part starts to boot the screen just freezes until it is done, and then I get a console login prompt.

I have not been able to figure out which module.  Boot and message files look fine.  lsmod showed the only difference was that the servers I am having an issue with have two bonded network interfaces.  Could the bond module being causing it?

Thanks for your help.
