    It sounds like it auto-rebooted after a crash.  The 10 seconds was
    probably the 'will reboot after 15 seconds' message on the console
    which you didn't see because you were in X.
maybe we should add an emergency video and keyboard reset to panic(). I 
think that's a better way than trying to guess what video mode is 
running and adopt to that (or such), like other operating systems try 
to do (linux). we could even make a pinkscreen! (or redscreen, or 
bluescreen!)

cheers
