i liked the old days when dmesg, /var/log/messages and other syslog stuff was displayed automatically on a tty console. I tried a softlink from /var/log/messages to tty9, but didn't have any luck. Would it require a tee or a mod to dmesg?

Should be able to control this in your syslog configuration, I prefer syslog-ng myself, but the regular old syslog can do this too I believe.

From my Debian Etch's /etc/syslog.conf

# # I like to have messages displayed on the console, but only on a virtual # console I usually leave idle. # #daemon,mail.*;\ # news.=crit;news.=err;news.=notice;\ # *.=debug;*.=info;\ # *.=notice;*.=warn /dev/tty8

One of those rare occasions when I know the answer, so I'll share. Had to go look at my /etc/syslog.conf file to remember the magic incantation:

# Log everything to tty12 # Added by TCM on 24 Nov 06 *.* /dev/tty12

This puts all that "stuff" on Ctrl-Alt-F12 "where it belongs". Enjoy.

additional repos(rpmforge, epel, etc...) and I don't have any custom
compiled modules. This box is a fresh installation running bind,
apache, and mysqld.

Would need to see the full error but it sounds like a kernel oops. For
me at least the useful info would be at the top of the error which
wasn't
included in your email.

Worst case, configure your system with a serial console and capture the
error using a terminal emulator on another machine plugged into your
serial console.
