If you want to play with kernel parameters, try noacpi. A dodgy ACPI

Few more ideas:
- you can get information about a kernel panic on your text mode
console, eg, Ctrl-Alt-F1. Maybe leave the thing like that and wait for
it to blow (perhaps starting a compile before switching will help
provoke it).
- Maybe come up in runlevel 3 and see if it still misbehaves, in case
it is something to do with your video card / bios / driver. Neat way to
do this is press 'a' at the grub prompt, and append the number 3 to the
kernel commandline for that one boot
- keep an eye on what
dmesg
outputs, sometimes there can be a clue printed by some driver.
Likewise, look through the boot messages in there after boot for
warnings or other ugliness
