Unless you are on a 80x25 console with a fatal kernel trap and the new console testing code, in which case you may very well lose relevant portions of the panic messages. :-P Also, if his box is resetting after panic'ing it might be too fast. Serial consoles are an excellenet remedy for both of these problems.
