I recently had to capture console messages for a boot problem.  Check 
out the boot parameters/grub, and the getty/agetty parts in the tldp.org 
link below.  The first was sufficient to get me a log of console 
messages from booting the kernel.  The latter if you want login access 
via serial port after boot.  I used minicom on another pc acting as 
console, and set to use 15200 n81 no hardware flow control (cts/rts), 
then I added the following to boot parameters:

console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8
