I'm sorry.

Would setting some debug options help? I currently have:

CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y
CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT=17
CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP=y
# CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS is not set
# CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB is not set
# CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES is not set
# CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK is not set
# CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP is not set
# CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT is not set
# CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO is not set
# CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is not set
# CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is not set
# CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not set
# CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING is not set
# CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST is not set
