Boot from the SP3 CD1, and try enabling kdb and send the console output
to the serial console, e.g. add the following in the bootia64 options
menu:

console=<yourserialconsole> kdb=on

This should drop you into kdb on an MCA or kernel oops.

Note only SP3 has kdb enabled in the default kernel (the one on the
installer CDs).
