The system has had a software panic but the actual panic message was overwritten by the system alert. Use ITRC KB document KBRC00007966 which shows how to disable the alert so that you can see the actual panic message.

Also check the /etc/shutdownlog for a panic message or /var/adm/crash to see if a dump was saved.
