I don't expect so - if it doesn't print anything useful to the console we're rather stuck. You probably don't have a serial port. If you have a lan port then netconsole _might_ work, but I'd say it's unlikely. Dunno. You _might_ be able to get a better trace by changing settings such as CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, CONFIG_4KSTACKS, CONFIG_UNWIND_INFO, and CONFIG_DEBUG_*.
