Try looking at the vmcore file in /var/crash.

# strings vmcore.0 | more

The first line may give/tell you what the problem is.

Ah thanks I have enabled var crash and checked dmesg and there
are some messages there but interpretation is the hard thing.
I have searched dejanews for similar meesages. The main
one is before the crash I see:

panic: cv_unsleep: thread f6156160 not on sleepq f0288ab4
syncing file systems... [133] 1368panic: panic sync timeout
 4568 static and sysmap kernel pages
  108 dynamic kernel data pages
  543 kernel-pageable pages
    6 segkmap kernel pages
    0 segvn kernel pages
    0 current user process pages
 5225 total pages (5225 chunks)

ANy ideas or can you recommend a good site to help interpret
this info?
