You can always plug in a USB-RS232 converter and pass "console=ttyUSB0"
on the kernel command line. There is no need to use the built-in serial
console as a terminal. If that still fails

It did indeed, when I tried that some time ago.

, you can always use netconsole
as I mentioned earlier, see [1], which works on any machine with networking
available.

That could work, sorry for ignoring that, as you already mentioned that
euarlier.
