how to see modprobe errors

Hi. I recently upgraded to a Debian variant. Under Redhat (where I was for several years), errors from a bogus modprobe would wind up in /var/log/messages. Where do they go now, if anywhere?

See, I think I pooched /etc/mod{probe.d,utils}/alsa-base, and now module loading is all screwed up -- 8139too won't load automatically, neither will sd and usb-storage and ehci-hcd, etc. Once they're loaded, stuff works. Oh, I have to reinstall the nvidia driver at every boot too, but I think that's related.

So I think I can diagnose the problem, if I can see the errors.  Help?
