Server is fully redundant now, so i apply patches (but i apply both, probably it will make system more reliable somehow) and i enable required debug options in kernel. So i will try to catch this bug few more times, probably if it will generate more detailed info over netconsole it will be useful.
Is there any project to dump console messages/kernel dump to disk? For example such issues related to networking, and i guess netconsole doesn't always work, especially when network driver is crashed, but tech's on location told there is some messages running non-stop on the screen. Probably some generic code writing such data over x86 INT 13 (or even kernel dump?) to separate partition will be useful to debug this problem. I know there is some 3rd party patches(for example LKCD), but i prefer to not apply them to not add more bugs. I notice some code in MTD(CONFIG_MTD_OOPS), but i am not sure it is correct and will work if i will setup MTD emulation for block device. That just idea.
