[vox-tech] Kernel Panic

[Jonathan Stickel]

Don't panic because of a kernel panic!

Your system should be recoverable.  From what I can tell, the module for 
reiserfs in your new kernel is bad.  The simple solution is to use your 
previously working kernel.  Most linuxes keep old kernels around by 
default until you manually uninstall them.  Do you have options for 
different kernels when you boot?  If not, we'll need to look deeper.
