This looks like a memory corruption footprint:

Jun  3 09:58:02 beren kernel: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 14000000

Have you tried running memtest86 on the machine?  A few bugzilla reports 
have turned up with similar footprints that have all turned out to be 
bad ram, so it is worth investigating.
