Alas it's not so easy, at least for me.
Sometimes it happens while I sit quietly and do nothing on that PC the
other time it happens when I recompile kernel. To catch my oops I was
forced to make an endless loop of kernel make bzImage; make modules;
make clean on the other hand yesterday I try the same, plus some
postgresql benchmarks
in the background just to higher the load and nothing happened, 2 hours
later when I have given up and stop all the tnings and when I was doing
REALY nothing the machine dies 8-( .
