1. What kernel? system? distribution? etc.

2. It's a shame you can't get the kernel's oops message - there is a
very useful utility, called ksymsoops that can analyze the log message
and give you a very good direction into what kernel module exactly did
this (a full name stack walk). Try getting the dump, consider hooking up
a terminal via serial port and recording it via a terminal emulation
program (minicom?).
