Unfortunately no. 

The system in question does not have physical serIO, and said to have a
serial-over-IP feature, which in fact does not work (and it's a pretty stupid
thing anyway, since you should have to telnet(!) in and capture the output
somehow; but the connection breaks after 1-2 minutes anyway).

I've tried netconsole but unfortunately [and naturally] it dies along with
eth0. 

I was thinking about usb serial port, but it probably requires IRQs alive
either.

But, as I mentioned, I backed up the live system to 2.4.20 to prevent further
lockups, and I do not really have a way to kill the test system manually. (So
far I've tried 2-3 runs of bonnie++ and tiobench, neither locked it up but I'll
try to run then in endless loop and see what happens.)

Which version of kernel have in your opinion a good chance to have the change?
I see there was a big version change somewhere, if you could point out the
kernel version I'd try to shoot around it.
