well, as I said, there where some things I had to remove ;)
but I guess we will fix them step by step ...

just let it panic, capture the entire oops trace (for example
via serial console, or by running bochs as emulator ;) and
feed it through ksymoops, which returns a human readable
version ... ( ksymoops -v vmlinuz -m System.map -K )
best to recompile the kernel first, after changing the
KERNEL_CFLAGS = to KERNEL_CFLAGS = -g, this way you can
later use addr2line to convert the stack addresses to a file
name and line number ...

we'll have to add the scheduler stuff, and fix the broken
uptime patches and the 'missing' network connect() code ...
