Problems trying to capture Kernel Oops on serial console

[mgillespie]

My 2.6.8.1 kernel is pretty flakey, falling over every few days. I have discovered a way to make it fall over every few minutes.. (woohoo)

I want to capture the kernel oops on the serial console, as have a kernel dev who is interested in the crash details. I have compiled a kernel with serial console support and added "console=ttyS0,9600 console=tty0" to my grub boot loader.

I can see the kernel messages on the serial console during boot, however when it crashes, nothing is sent across the serial link. Have I missed something obvious???

Thanks.
