Sorry to stay off topic regarding the problem. But the best kernel panic
message has to be if you manage to crash Linux running on a Sparc64
based machine. It prints an ascii art face sticking it's tongue out!

>From arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c (this may not come out properly in
email):


        /* Amuse the user. */
        printk(
"              \\|/ ____ \\|/\n"
"              \"@'/ .. \\`@\"\n"
"              /_| \\__/ |_\\\n"
"                 \\__U_/\n");

Cheers,
Daniel
