I assume the info you need is not getting captured in /var/log? Perhaps your system needs a firmware setting changed to use a RS-232 console? I assume it is not waiting for a control line, e.g. carrier detect, to go high? Some systems have buggy firmware and still read from the ps2 keyboard even though they are printing to the RS-232 console. If all else fails there is the aim a video camera at the screen method. :-(
