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?

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.
