Ok, I've booted with the old (maverick's kernel) and I hacked a new script as the first one in /etc/rcS.d which modprobes the network console module and also brings up the network and setting the log level of the console. Then I rebooted with natty's current kernel, the usual effect: half of the screen is filled with garbage, no disk activity, etc. But I got some messages on my other machine with network console: At first it did not seems to contain any problematic message (panic, etc). However, after some time, there were some "blocked for more than ..." like messages, it seems about commands used during the boot (iptables-restore: I had setup for iptables rules to load with, NetworkManager, etc ...). I've attached the log file to this comment. Hope it helps.
