I highly recommend using serial console capturing for this. On the crashing machine, use this on the kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 and on the serial-connected capture machine, run minicom or my favorite, ttywatch, which writes everything it sees on the serial ports into a logfile. (ttywatch's advantage over minicom is its ease of setup - a simple well-documented config file, and it can capture arbitrarily many serial ports at once - e.g. my Digi 64port serial box as easily as it does a single serial port. In our lab, our machines-under-test are almost always attached to one of the Digi serial ports, so if/when we do crash them, we've got the data immediately - we don't have to try to reproduce it again just to get the capture data.
