Right.
RHEL configured to have panic on oops too, if you disable that (in /
etc/sysctl.conf)
there is a bigger chance oopses would make it to the log.

Alternatively you can try to configure kdump and dump the entire
panicked kernel image to local disk which potentially has even
more chances to contain useful information in case of panics.
