I'm no expert on this, but it looks like a kernel Oops to me - You
should read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/oops-tracing.txt
The "screen full of numbers" you are refering to is a dump of the
various machine register states at the time of the crash and a backtrace
of the instructions that led up to the crash. You should copy it all
down and run it through the "ksymoops" tool to produce output that will
be usefull to the kernel developers, then post the ksymoops output.
