That's a kernel panic indicator
Do you have a sequence of actions that repeats the problem and causes it
to occur again ?
What I recall doing is:
1) ifdown the wired LAN connection.
2) ifup the wireless.
3) Unplug the wall wart.
4) My wife accessed some stuff on her USB flash drive (automounted,
unmounted through the GUI).
5) Return system to wall wart.
6) ifdown wireless.
7) ifup LAN.
I can try repeating this. Let me know.
This was reported by log watch:
WARNING: Kernel Errors Present

It seems to be the only thing interesting that was logged but this is
from the restart on the 31st. lspci tells me:

Looking at /var/log/messages, it looks like the system packed up at
about on the 31st:

Apparently, ntpd doesn't like having the interface its using switched so
ntpd was conveniently giving the "Invalid argument" message every
fifteen minutes or so from the time I removed the system from AC power
until it barfed. Also, acpid has:
