Not enough there for us.
My apologies. I'm still ploughing through Google results, but while I've
found many posts along the order of mine ("Help! I just installed XXX and now
I get this kernel panic!") I haven't yet found a reference to interpret what
it means, exactly.
As Declan implied, the important information comes first, so before
what you were able to show us. Depending on when the problem happened,
and what caused it, it *might* have made it to the system log.
If this panic happens during the boot, favourite causes include not
compiling the root filesystem type into the kernel, not compiling the
correct disk drivers (if SATA, CONFIG_SCSI, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA, plus the appropriate chipset under SCSI SATA), or
telling grub to boot the wrong filesystem (of course, if the kernel is
on the root filesystem you get a grub error instead of a kernel panic).
