You can set the console loglevel differently with 'dmesg -n<number>'.
Outside of that, if you get normal kernel messages but not messages on
hard crashes, that may just mean the kernel died before it got a chance to
log - in that case, there's not a lot you can do.
I really need to fix virt-dmesg ...
