I will try, but a very dumb question first. If I have a kernel that
crashes because of a disk problem ..., how do I get to save the output?
(Never worked with a serial console, but there might be a first time
for everything ...) But maybe there is an obvious solution that I overlook?

Or should I just try to watch and look for certain messages (ordering of
messages), which given the huge amount of output seems a bit daunting ...

Best regards,

Stefan
