Micheal,

sure, if you can give us the actual panic message, and preferable a
backtrace, I'm pretty sure we can.

If you can easily produce the panic, you can also grab the coredump w/o
swap space, if you have a spare USB thumb drive handy (see savecore).
BTW by instructing the kernel to save it's coredump onto a (dedicated)
USB thumb drive, I'm fetching core dumps from embedded units which is
otherwise impossible. You can than later analyze and debug your kernel
crash on a workstation machine.
