I get a kernel oops every few days (even weeks if I'm lucky) with kernel
2.4.2 that I suspect are related to my Speedtouch USB ADSL modem. The box
in question is monitor and keyboardless unless strictly necessary, and
routes the ADSL internet connection to a local network.
What is the preferred what of getting debugging information from a kernel
oops? Is my only way connecting a monitor and getting a pencil and paper?
Is there any conceivable way I can get some useful debugging information
(on reset) without plugging in a keyboard/monitor?

You can build and boot a kernel with serial console and run a serial cable to
another box

Add a serial console (linux/Documentation/serial-console.txt) and
install the kernel debugger of your choice. kdb is good ;)
