We'd like a bit more information about the panic please.

Ideally, set up a serial console and capture the entire kernel output. 
If that is not practical, perhaps a digital photograph of the screen? 
Setting the screen into 50-row mode beforehand is often useful.

Worst-case, just type it all in again :(  Usually all the hexadecimal
numbers can just be omitted when doing this.

Thanks.
