You're not seeing any of this?

Kernel panics are not easy to interpret.  Generally you'll need a
second machine -

If you're not getting any panic data logged, you can try dumping
them directly to the screen -

sudo nvram boot-args="debug=0x0100"

But, these data may not be very useful on their own.  Other than
perhaps to send a photo of them to Apple, heh.

And, some OSX versions will do this simply from booting in the
verbose mode, but I can't recall which ones.
