Sorry to hear this, but you need to take that problem elsewhere.  Please
file a new bug against linux-2.6, or report it on the LKML (trying out
the latest -rc kernel is recommended in that case).

If you have a second computer, you can use netconsole to capture the
panic logs.  See Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt in the kernel
tree and initramfs-tools(8).
