 I too see the same panic maybe one out of five boots of my laptop (Core 
 2 Duo). Most of the time it happens during KDE startup, but it has 
 happened occasionally towards the end of running the rc startup 
 scripts. This has been going on since I started running amd64-current 
 as of about two months ago.
 
 Sometimes the kernel manages to dump core (which doesn't appear to be 
 usable) but most times it wedges solid.
 
 I'll append a dmesg here next time I power-up the laptop.
 
 Cheers, Steve
