I'd guess that the USB hangs: then sysrequests won't reach the box
anyway, since the keyboard is on the USB (but still, it's worth a
try).
Another angle of attack would be: is the box reachable via network?
(e.g. install openssh-server, log in via ssh).
As for the logs... /var/log/syslog resp /var/log/messages (or wherever
systemd hides those things these days -- there I'd have to defer to
others).
