Start with the bt command, for backtrace.  Capturing debugger output is
difficult because the machine is dead and cannot write to disk.  The
best way is to build the kernel with a serial console and debug over
that.  Recommended reading:

linux/Documentation/serial-console.txt
man linux/Documentation/kdb/kdb.mm
man linux/Documentation/kdb/kdb_bt.man
