Could you try disabling the sheep_net module in /etc/mol/molrc.net? 

I experienced a this kernel panic today (for the first time) and I'm
currently trying to track it down. I can reproduce it fairly easily
by starting MOL from a nfs volume (generates a lot of network traffic).
If I disable the sheep_net module MOL boots without problem...
