If possible, kill the console blank timer too? (dunno if you have). Example: Oops screen on 2.4 recently I paged up to where the fault started, the screen blanker kicked in while I was hand copying info and wiped previous screens :( Caused significant delay in working out what the issue was (slackware-10.2 2.4.33.1 glibc nptl boo-boo). Is it safe / easy to do on oops/panic?
