If the hang was a crash which you didn't get a chance to capture the
last kernel log, you can use kdump to collect them. The kernel log
tells what kind of crash it is, a NULL pointer deref, a kernel page fault
etc..

If the hang was a hard lockup, you have to turn on lockup detector
and also kdump to capture what the detector tells.

Thanks.
