This isn't from ices, this is from the kernel. Something went wrong
during the time ices was running.  ices can completely freeze if the
kernel has detected a problem somewhere, so you need to isolate the 
causes of such things.   There should be no way of causing a panic from
ices and any other application.

The thing that stands out initially is the tainted reference ie you have
some non-standard module loaded on your system, the typical example is
the nvidia module, use lsmod to see the list of modules.

There are a few possibilities that could cause this kernel panic, one is
poor module code, try to avoid not loading the module to begin with and
try to do the streaming.  The other usual suspect is excessive heat
causing errors inside the chips.

The main thing that can be done to remove the possibility of a kernel
panic is having a recent kernel. The gcc release you have should be
fine.

As for the config file I'll check into that a bit more later.
