Machine stopped responding without any indication in syslog

Latest response

My machine stopped responding, including to the console.
After a reboot, I looked at the syslog, and these are the messages just before the reboot:

Since nothing indicates a root-cause for the problem, can you suggest where I could search for more data as to why my machine had to be rebooted?
