you may want to try kexec in place of having to take photos of the
kernel panic output.  This will enable you to load a crash-recovery
kernel, which will be booted automatically once you've successfully
reproduced the problem.  From there you can use gdb together with
/proc/vmcore and your kernel image to reconstruct what you'd see in
dmesg and paste the entire oops.  Please see
Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details and use
Documentation/kdump/gdbmacros.txt to give gdb a "dmesg" macro.
