Hi all,

This is the first time in my life I had a (non-stupid) kernel panic.
This killed 35+ days of continuous uptime (grrrrr) and left zilch
in the logs, and all I have to go on is this message the guy who rebooted
it copied down off the screen. If anyone has an idea or request for info
let me know. Thanks.
