disabling console blanking



I have a 2.6.5 machine in my basement, with CONFIG_PM disabled.
Unfortunately, it started freezing on me recently, and so I would
like to find out if it prints anything to the screen just before.
However, this seems to be impossible, as the console blanks itself
after a couple of minutes. As said, CONFIG_PM is disabled, and
I tried both:

  setterm -blank 0
  setterm -powersafe off

but it keeps going black. Does anyone know what I could do?

Thanks,
