We're completely blind unless we can see that oops info. If it reached
/var/log/messages then please send it.

If it didn't please set up netconsole (Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt)

If for some reason that isn't possible then you couldry switching to
the vga concole (alt-ctl-F1) before the ooops and see if the output
is visible on the VGA screen. If it is there, a digital photo will suit
(you can email it to me and I can stick it on a server somewhere if
you like). The last option is to write the oops info down with a
pencil and type it in again, but that's painful (all the hex addresses
in the stack backtrace can be omitted)

Thanks.
