In a 19" rack there would still be spaghetti... but it really doesn't matter since what was asked for was a way to capture oopsen without resolving to serial-cables. I think the question was valid, and allthough we haven't had any oopses here, i don't wan't to even consider how much cleanup work, and recompiles etc. a reoccuring oops would make - and that even without setting up a serial-connection to capture an oops that we might not even be able to recreate, without having a possible buggy machine in a live network (doing normak tasks).
It would be really nice to have a way to capture oopses, that isn't depending on a serialcable. That way we could send the oops of to kernellist and immediatly get on to the work of recreating a stable machine.
