Any assistance identifying the likely cause of this kernel panic would be greatly appreciated.
(The server is headless, and this final page of console text is all I can get from the IPMI server)

And if anyone has any suggestions as to the relevant logs, and how to access them, that may provide additional info as to this kp.

Try to setup kdump to get more information about kernel crashes. Post mortem analysis is very hard without out.

Thanks for the suggestion!
I just had a friend recommend netconsole to remotely record kernel logs.
Will try and setup both to try and cover all the bases, get all the info I can.
 
Yes, I also often used netconsole, but this is limited to the same physical network (due to Layer-2 stuff) and you cannot log eveything - but that's the same with kdump. Setting up both is IMHO the best way to go.

Yet I have to say, I had crashed due to netconsole (and flodding) at boot on some machines. Not every network card plays nice with it, yet you should try. I'd recommend to setup everything in a VM and play around with it. Especially also with sysreq keys and causing kernel panics to get familiar with the stuff.

Awesome, thanks for the confirmation on netconsole, and using them both together, and the tips on setting it all up.

Just the tip mind.
