I can try, but origin have only serial console so will I see output if I disable the serial driver? 2 times the last message seen from kernel was: Memory: 60824k/65536k available (1423k kernel code, 4712k reserved, 184k data, 220k init) And nothing more, no oops. once the last message was about serial ports (two detected) and nothing more.
