Thanks for the hint! That's an interesting idea. I do have a "proper"
serial port on the motherboard, and I can find another machine with a
serial port to monitor it.

That's the problem. I have no idea on how to configure a machine to
output logs to a serial port. And I don't really know what logs should
be put there. 
'/var/log/messages' are being kept on the disk after a reboot, and it
doesn't contain anything wrong, in my opinion...
