I've compiled the debugger into the kernel and read the section about that 
in the handbook but now after the crash there isn't any dump restored! I 
tried using the ctl-alt-esc but that doesn't help... when the machined is 
killed I'm not about to do anything with it at all other than resetting the 
machine.
