The trouble is that I can't reproduce the crash when I'm not attached
to the VT, and when I am, the VT locks and I can't switch to a
different one (SysRq keys don't work either — that may be because of
strange laptop keyboard configuration, I don't exactly know).

Do you have any ideas on what can be done?
