Looks like you've got the kdump service set up and running, so you
should be able to look in /var/crash/2009-06-10-07:33/ directory, and
there should be both a kernel crash dump and probably also a copy of
the panic information.

Install the 'crash' package, which allows you to analyze the kernel
dumps, and a kernel-debug of the same release as the kernel that
produced the dump.  You can then see exactly what the state of the
kernel and userland when the system panicked.
