Well, that's way to little information, ideally complete dmesg
would be the most helpful, you'll need serial console for that,
otherwise what was the last several lines of it? is that 32 or 64 bit
kernel? How do you build it, with what compiler?
Also try to boot with -V flag and collect dmesg.

In any case try ofw command (after 'ok' prompt):
.trap-registers 

it will give you pc and you can find a place in kernel where
that thing happened.
