I have text 80x30 mode set at rc stage, and _after_ that may have many
kernel messages on console, all without causing reboot. How it is
different from shutdown stage? Syscons mode is unchanged since rc stage.

Thanx. Setting debug.kdb.break_to_debugger=1 makes both Ctrl-Alt-ESC and
Ctrl-PrtScr works in sc only mode and "c" exit don't cause all chars
beeps like in vt. I.e. it works. But I don't understand why debugging
via serial involved in sc case while not involved in vt case and fear
that some serial noise may provoke break. Is there a chance to untie
serial and sc console debuggers?
