thx for reply.
it's self built server on regular desktop hardware, so have not ipmi.
it's possible to have phisical access to it, so i guess serial console
is my solution.
i am also have few questions about serial console setup.
as i understand simplest way to achieve it is default serial com port,
i am also have read something about serial via usb (looks like it
require some sort of special adaptor)

also netconsole looks interesting too, i will setup it right now.
