How much do you have for the swap ?
My experience says 512M or 768M swap gives you kernel panic.
If you have only a large swap partition, try commenting out
the swap entry from /etc/fstab to see if that is really the problem.

Aha, I did not read the subject line. Quick silver needs at least
20011221 snapshot to work if I remember correctly.
