For kernel versions 2.5.6x and later, the LOG_BUF_LEN parameter is part
of the kernel .config file (LOG_BUF_SHIFT) so you don't need to modify
it at all.

Nope. I could probably borrow a laptop to a friend but am not excited at the idea of having to setup some serial console thing (I do not even have a serial cable). Dump to floppy/swap/disk would be much easier in my case... if it could me made to work, of course ;-)
