I tried, but the hangup is the same, and only a long-press on the power button,
-IBM/Intel don't believe in reset button- resets

<more ranting>
they don't believe in serial console either, so the best one can do
in such cases is have a photographic mind while watching the messages go by
btw, we managed to "hijack" the remote-console via vncviewer, so at least
we don't need jdk 1.4.

in any case, there is a copy of the dmesg in (good old syslog)
