Is it me or does this look like a kernel panic?

Did the other lines look anything like:
kernel: EFLAGS: 00010286
kernel: eax: ffaa0055   ebx: 00004100   ecx: 0075fc34   edx: ffff7c00
kernel: esi: 0147c810   edi: 315f5975   ebp: 00000000   esp: 0019da1c

If so, you've found either a kernel problem, or a hardware problem
on your computer (probbly the latter). The stuff above comes from
my logfiles, and the way I god rid of it was by setting my CPU speed
somewhat lower (it was overclocked). You may have success with eighter
increasing RAM wait times, or replacing your ram (if possible).

If it really is a hardware/kernel problem, then the version of debian
etc souldn't matter too much (except that different debian versions have
different kernels).
