I suggested the serial port thing hoping somebody would know and explain to us. However, I'm founding references on the kernel documentation. For example, look at this paragraph (oops-tracing.txt):
(2) Boot with a serial console (see Documentation/serial-console.txt), run a null modem to a second machine and capture the output there using your favourite communication program. Minicom works well.
That looks promising. Then, serial-console.txt says:
To use a serial port as console you need to compile the support into your kernel - by default it is not compiled in. For PC style serial ports it's the config option next to "Standard/generic (dumb) serial support". You must compile serial support into the kernel and not as a module.
While we are at it.. lsmod gives a list of installed modules. Is there something to see the *compiled-in* modules? Maybe inside System.map? [snip] Bye, Ermanno Polli
