I've been getting a kernel oops for awhile that is worse than ever in
3.11.1. It seems to be related to my XHCI USB port. I followed the
instructions here:
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel_Crash_Dumps
but /proc/vmcore doesn't exist after I reboot the system after a
crash. I did notice that I was getting a lot of white text dumped to
the screen against a black background before I followed the
instructions in the wiki, but after following them the screen just
freezes when it crashes.
Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong or how to find out?
I've discovered that the crash kernel should automatically boot after
a crash and that is not happening. Any idea what could be preventing
it? Does the following document look up to date and valid?

It turns out the crashkernel itself crashes when I have the Mini
DisplayPort connected. I've filed a bug:
