So, this good news.  It means it might be possible to track down which
module is responsible for the oops by entering a minimal environment
and loading them with "modprobe" one at a time.  See the "break"
parameter in the initramfs-tools(8) manual and [1] for hints.

This part would still be good to figure out.  The "printk_delay"
kernel commandline parameter might be helpful if the early messages
scroll past too quickly.

Thanks again for your help and patience.
