I'll second the "try doing ctrl-alt-F1 followed by 'boot crash'"
recommendation.  (If you don't have swap and /var space for a crash
dump, then at least try blind typing 'trace' and 'ps' and then 'boot
reboot', as if that can actually reboot then you'll see the panic
message, back trace, and ps info in the output of dmesg.

The other thought is that you describe this as a change from before;
what was the last snapshot you installed that you can be sure *did
not* exhibit this behavior?  e.g., did the machine last overnight when
running 5.1?  5.2-release?  An October snapshot?
