If the system is wedged so hard that I can't even use the pageup key
to scroll back on the console do you really think it will be up sufficiently
to send out netconsole messages?

If I turn the screen into an 80x60 display instead of 80x24 then at least
I can get more lines printed before the system locks up....   And I don't
need a second machine off on the network to help me debug this.
