All the oopses have scrolled off and the pictures are blurry, so it's not 
possible to see the backtraces clearly.

To prevent the scroll-off please add these boot options:

   pause_on_oops=600 initcall_debug debug ignore_loglevel

This should rate-limit the crash to one oops per 600 seconds. The first one is 
probably the most interesting one.

Also, does the vga=ask boot option added to the ones above work for you?

If yes then on bootup select a VGA mode that has as many lines as possible (to 
capture a big oops screen) - but in this case it's doubly important that the 
picture you take is *sharp*.

Thanks,

	Ingo
