Hello smart people).
I'm a bit lost atm. I get a kernel panic when I try to load one website ( guaranteed, but takes different amount of time, sometimes I can login and click a couple links, sometimes it's almost instant). The website is graphics heavy but I never had any issues with it before, a regular there for a year or so. Sometimes I get the blinky lights of death during just using the system in a normal way. So the website itself is irrelevant. It just acts like a stress to hang my machine.
Tried looking at journalctl and dmesg live, it says nothing during the freeze. 0 messages.
Been advised to try and use netconsole module, but I can't figure out how to enable it on arch. And k dump is even more obscure.
As far as I noticed it only happens when I run my arch on VMware Vsphere cloud. It's a lab. I can't really afford to run 2 VM's on my local machine, so I really want to make it work.
OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Host: VMware Virtual Platform None
Kernel: 5.19.12-arch1-1
Uptime: 30 mins
Packages: 552 (pacman)
Shell: bash 5.1.16
Resolution: 1920x1080
WM: i3
Theme: Adwaita [GTK3]

Terminal: alacritty
CPU: Intel Xeon E5540 (8) @ 2.527GHz
GPU: 00:0f.0 VMware SVGA II Adapter
Memory: 560MiB / 16001MiB
Can someone point me to the right way of installing netconsole ( not on pacman, not in AUR it seems) and point me to a good guide on K-dump process? I just really wanna know why it does what it does. Is it the video driver or memory leak or just VM going bonkers for some reason.
The fix itself is not as important to me as understanding the underlying reason for it and learning the process of troubleshooting this bastard).
Thanks in advance, archbros! XD
