Despite (or because of) it being old-tech, there is still a place for a serial console. Booting problems is one of them. Set things up so that console messages go to the regular screen AND the serial port. Hook up a terminal or a terminal-emulator on another computer and save the output. Or, hook up a printer with a serial interface. I don't know if its possible to get the kernel to put output to a parallel port; I don't know if your computer has a parallel port.
