I had that problem or something similar some time ago when updating to

tools to figure out which partition/drive was which and editing the
kernel/initrd lines to get the system to boot to init level 1 and then
make the changes permanent in grub and fstab.
ok, I found now the problem, it was a combination of a missing driver
and a new device name (changed from sdc to sde).
But really it cannot be that it is impossible to scroll the kernel
messages up? Is there really no way existing to get to the message above?
And take a camera is absolutely impossible, from grub to kernel panic it
takes around 1 second, that is faster then the display to switch the to
the correct output mode.
