Hello again
Thanks a lot for the instructions, much easier
Following the steps on your email, actually got me the 3.2.2 kernel (not 
the 3.2.1 kernel) and produced me an i386 binary (not i486), I hope it's 
ok and I didn't do anything wrong while compiling the kernel.
It did reproduced the kernel panic, and repeating the same steps again 
with the patch did solve the problem (actually I'm writing this email 
running the patched one, something I couldn't do before).
So the issue is resolved ( again hoping it doesn't matter using the 
3.2.2 kernel and compiling an i386 deb package).
Please inform me of any following steps or info I have to provide.
Thanks a lot for your time and patience

Best regards
Ayman
