I've had problems with write caching causing the last few messages to
be lost after a panic*, so if you don't see anything suspicious, maybe
turn off write caching with 'hdparm -W 0 /dev/whatever' for long
enough to reproduce the crash. Just in case.

* This was really only a problem because I was using a flash-based
drive (not USB, but for an embedded system) with *really* aggressive
caching. I don't know how bad the problem might be on a more ordinary
drive.
