Also, when I try have a look at the partition labels with druid, it works okay till the manual/automatic disk partitioning screen. After that, it says "Cannot read partition table. The partition table needs to be recreated and all data will be lost". We have configured LVM on the system with four scsi disks. Ther server is IBM xseries 365. The sytem alarm LED is off.
Not much experience in kernel panics, but from your details you appear to have a bad partition table/ LVM etc. Find out if there is any repair utility available to save it in existing form. One or more of your hdds could be giving up. FSCK is a FS checking utility.
