How about serial console over a cross-over cable to a second box. netconsole will let you put the console on a different box over the network. console on line printer will let you have a permanent record of the console output on paper. See Documentation/serial-console.txt Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt the help entry for "config LP_CONSOLE" (in drivers/char/Kconfig) Would any of those perhaps help you in capturing anything ? -- Jesper Juhl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
