Well, send whatever you can. In these situations it helps to have a second computer handy, so you can connect the two by a null-modem serial cable and use a serial console. Then the other computer can capture everything sent by the test machine. Are you sure that the patch is causing the crashes? If you build a new kernel without the patch, does it work okay?
