This is unfortunately common; some BIOS component can't handle the int19 
chain being re-entered before it's reset.  This is arguably defective, 
but it doesn't help you much.  I'd suggest that you shouldn't use 
"reboot".  Does alt-ctrl-del work?

I think your machine is in a terribly inconsistent state at this point; 
you look like you're getting an FPU trap in the kernel.  "Don't do this".
