Hi Dave,

Hi, I occasionally get a kernel panic, at least I assume it is because
everything freezes except for blinking keyboard lights, when compiling
with multiple jobs using scons but I can't find anything in the log to
indicate where it happened. I'm already running kdump but it doesn't
trigger. I think I can reproduce the panic with a particular resource
hungry compile so what can I do to debug this problem?

Have the console visible (Ctrl+Alt+F1) when the panic happens and you
should see a backtrace.

An alternative is setting up a serial console.
