There's been three additional panics since this bug was filed.  two of them had
similar errors, the other didn't, so two additional bugs have been filed with
RedHat:

kernel panic in resem.h
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=150743

Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops

Sky panicked again at 6:48am Sat Apr 2.

Unfortunately it once again didn't log anything, and there was no camera handy
to get a screenshot this time.

been over a month with no panic, this no longer qualifies as "frequently".

I'll be installing a newer kernel on it tomorrow morning to pick up security
updates, we'll see how it goes.

Sky hasn't panicked in months (although a few of the other boxes have).  I don't think this is an issue (at least with sky) anymore.
