  These boot parameters worked to log console messages:
console=ttyS0,9600
  But the other way around, desktop logging laptop,
console=ttyUSB0,9600
  didn't.  Had to hard reboot. The laptop doesn't have a serial port.
 
 Get a decent laptop :)
 
 There is really no way around this, as the usb modules, being modular, are
 loaded well after when the serial console is set up. and given that usb
 modules are and should be either in the initrd or even later, there is no way
 to make what you want work, especially for a generic kernel like the debian
 one.
 
 (and especially not on powerpc, which this has good chances of being since
 there are few non-apple laptops which dropped the serial port :)
