If you have a machine in a hard to reach place and are worried about it panic'ing (for whatever reason), try setting
/proc/sys/kernel/panic
to some non-zero number, then, (hopefully) after that number of seconds the machine will reboot, giving you an oppertunity to reconnect to it after it reboots remotely.
+
+This can be done by editing
+ /etc/sysctl.conf
+and adding the line
+ kernel.panic = 60

If you get a panic in the "swapper" then chances are it's dodgy ram (or other related hardware).
