Try "Shift+PgUp".

Did you try shift+pageup to use the kernel's built-in scrolling capabilities?

[sisuite-users] How can I see the System Imager error message?
I've been banging my head against a problem installing OSCAR for a couple of weeks. The network boot phase seems to be crashing because of a System Imager error, but I can't tell what type of error. The net boot begins OK and runs a downloaded kernel. Then a lot of stuff scrolls by quickly. It ends with a page which begins, "Your autoinstall has failed. You can use the shell prompt to try and see what happened." This is followed by a page of advice, which causes all previous messages to scroll off the console. Of course, there is no shell prompt, nor do the alt-f1 or other keys do anything. It's just hung. I tried capturing the boot messages by echoing them out a serial port. (The AMI BIOS allows that.) It works up to a point, but the output quits when the kernel boots.
