Judging by where you're reporting seeing the oops, you can probably
still freeze the screen with Ctrl+S, and then use Shift+PgUp and
Shift+PgDown to maneuver around. And yes, these are a major PITA to copy
down by hand. But I did one just the other day (only to find out an hour
later that the fix was already in the new 2.4.22-1.2097.nptl kernel)...
won't take you more than 10-15 minutes. If you have a second machine,
maybe typing it is easier than writing by hand. (BTW, Ctrl+Q will
"unfreeze" the console.)
