That's an indication that the kernel has paniced. Eg, from /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/pc_keyb.c:
/* Tell the user who may be running in X and not see the console that we have panic'ed. This is to distingush panics from "real" lockups. Could in theory send the panic message as morse, but that is left as an exercise for the reader. */
