This is *possible*, but there's nothing in the logs that koder posted
that supports it. If the machine's kernel-panicked, then it'll probably
be completely unresponsive (no way to ssh in) though it might respond to

If don't need your 3D stuff to run as fast as possible, don't bother
with the non-Open 3D graphics modules. Just install radeon or nouveau,
since those don't tend to crash horribly every 5 minutes.

IME, the binary-only modules from nvidia caused many more problems than
the nouveau modules. Note that YMMV on this.
