[DC LoCo] Kernel Panic!

[Frank J. Gómez]

To add more detail, when I attempt to boot off a freshly
burned ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso, I get as far as the little logos on
the bottom of the splash page (I think it's a keyboard and/or open arms?)
which precedes the menu (install, memtest, etc).  Then I get (and there's
more output than fits on my screen):

Call Trace:

So you think this is a non-hard-drive, non-ram hardware failure?  Any idea
how I'd determine what I need to replace?  The four hard drives are on two
array controllers, and both arrays seem to come up fine before the CD is
read.

Thanks so much,
