any chance you can hook up a serial console and grab the top of this output? failing that, booting with vga=1 may get enough extra lines to grab it. (though it'll make it pretty unreadable at the resolution of that last capture).
Unfortunatly the machine has manged to stumble its way through a yum update. At each crash forward progress was made so, after sufficient crashes, the yum update eventually finished.
Did you manage to coerce anything out of this ? There's not really much to go on here sadly :-/

if it ever reappears, open up a new bug, and we'll start over ;)
