I am used to rise the priority of debug/interactive console at FIFO 99 on those system I know there are a problem with user interaction. I am conscious that a solution like this could harm the system if debug console is used by not acknowledged people in a not properly way. So, it is a solution only when falling down on debug console is the last chance to interact with the busy system.
