kernel panic in 2.4.2

When I arrived at my machine tonight it was dead, with a nice
panic on the screen as a greeting. On rebooting I found something
in the logs, which is rare because it said "not syncing". So I'm
assuming this isn't the panic that killed the box, but she
probably knows (of) him, so let's interrogate her anyway:

oh, kernel 2.4.2. I'd be using 2.4.2-ac*, but my radeon doesn't
like it (and no I can't report a bug on that, because I have
nothing to repot on that).

Cheers!
