[CentOS] CentOS-6.7 Kernel Panic

This is likely (almost certainly) a hardware issue.  However, I would
like any guidance available on diagnosing the exact cause and remedy.

We have a warm standby server then went off line over the weekend.
The problem manifests itself as a kernel panic during the centos boot
process.  The issue appears to be with auto-mounting a number of pci
devices.  Unfortunately the error messages scroll off the monitor that
I attached to it. This is some of the residue text that I though might
have some use in diagnosing the problem.



Kernel panic not syncing: Fatal exception
Comm pciehpd Tainted: G  DW -- -------
. . .

drm_k,s_helper panic occurred switching back to text mode.



At which point the system is non-responsive.

Any ideas as to what is going on?  Any other information I should be
looking for?
