This is a brand new server, which has been tested for days with FreeBSD in our office, and a few days with Windows on the site of our hardware distributor. Now customer wants CentOS, which we installed, but after few days we get a kernel panic. Last night at 2:08 it gave the same kernel panic.
The fact that it worked OK, the first few days, with FreeBSD and Windows, may have been a Burn In test and now something in the HW has failed or is failing. Or, possibly CentOS is utilizing the HW much more robustly than the other 2 OS did?
I would suggest that you get a Knoppix Live CD, or, preferably, a CentOS Live CD, and let it roll.
And, you get a Kernel Panic, after_ a_ few_ days, on CentOS. That might indicate a Memory problem? Or, a Cooling problem?

Two banks of Memory (3 and 5) have problems?
If the RAM tests OK, suggest you swap the motherboard
