This one locked up the machine. I don't know how long it lasted as it
was overnight. This time, the caps lock was not blinking, but the only
recovery was to power it off.
A serial console is not possible - no hardware. In this case,
netconsole is no help either as it would need to use the hardware
whose driver has already failed.
