David - We already have everything going to a serial console, as I said - the problem is that the device we're using to attach to the serial console doesn't log anything. It would show us the panic message only if someone was attached to the console at the time. What I'm looking for is some way of storing the last panic error in a more permanent fashion - to disk, assuming the disk isn't toast... Any ideas?
