You could use either netconsole or blockconsole.  Netconsole requires
a second machine to capture the information, blockconsole requires a
usb key or something similar to write to.  In both cases you will get
the entire console output in a file, often including very helpful
messages leading up to the crash.

Blockconsole currently lives here:
