I think it wouldn't help much to log to a file -- the kernel message buffer
may fill up before syslogd can read it if it is spammed with debug messages.
A serial console connected to something with log facilities (I use
som_term_prog | tee foo) works best here (use plain printf so that the
messages get sent to the serial console synchronously).
