kernel-panic

Does anyone know if it is possible to have a DRAC5 make a screenshot of the console when Linux reboots (automatically) due to a kernel panic?

Our current system doesn't reboot automatically when it panics, so we can manually make a screenshot using the DRAC when it crashes.

However, I'd like to configure it so it will reboot automatically when a panic happens, but still be able to log the cause of the crash.
