That indeed looks like a kernel panic.

See http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/Kernel for the introduction to kernel
debugging (especially the chapters "Capturing Oops info" and "Using the
serial console" might be interesting to you).

If you need X to reproduce the bug and the machine does not have a serial
port (which is too common these days, unfortunately), you can try to use
netconsole - see a short howto in
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444149#c43
