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.
The logging console (Ctrl+Alt+F10) is usually a bit more instructive. You will have to write down the contents or take a photo, and part of the message will usually scroll off the screen, but it is generally enough to get some clues.
