If your servers do IPMI, you probably can configure Serial-over-LAN to get 
a console and capture the logs.

But a way more convenient solution is netdump. As long as the network 
connection is working on the panicking machine, you should be able to 
transmit the kernel panic info, as well as a stack trace, to a 
netump-server, which will store it in a file.

See http://www.redhat.com/support/wpapers/redhat/netdump/
