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 ...
