Do you know under what conditions you can regularly crash the kernel?
Compile Linux with -g and lookup the EIP value using gdb
/usr/src/linux/tools/system, and do a list *0xeipvalue. If the system doesn't
do a crash dump, try using alt-scroll lock to get the EIP value. This could
help finding the bug(s).
