I have a BackupPC server running for a couple of years without issues (HP ProLiant DL380 G3 with some chunky disks). I upgrade the Broadcom NIC firmware in it, and it started to kernel panic every night thereafter. Never completed a nightly backup run would always crash. It took me a while to figure out it was the NIC firmware that caused the problem. I downgraded the firmware back to its original and the problem went away. Running SL5.4 (RHEL5 U4 derivative) on that host. Kernel panics are typically hardware related.
