If you are not running X at the time you should see the panic on the screen, otherwise it can be tricky to get unless you have a serial console or some other way to dump the console messages when the system dies.
I'd like to learn a reason for this kernel panic but I'm using X and cannot afford waiting in the text console for hours in hope to get this kernel panic. Moreover, it may be crucial for kernel panic to have X running. Why kernel in the case of panic cannot simply switch the screen to the text mode and print out a message there?
