Now this is something I have wondered along time now.. Is there a way to log the kernel oops from start or shutdown? These dont show up in any of the logs.. Could be of use here. You wont see these logs in dmesg.

I have heard about serial console.. but thats to bothersome.. Isnt there anything that can be run on kernel parameter (something like the app that logs the time it takes to start linux and prints out a graphical chart..)
