    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.
