This may be completely unrelated, but in setting up Sarge on my
TP570E, I ran into the same exact problem and noticed that if I just
tried rebooting again... the problem went away.  It was really wierd. 
For the first week or so it would do this routinely and I'd need to
effectivly boot twice. The first time getting the Seg fault-> kernel
panic, the second time no problems.  I'm into the 2nd or so week using
it now and I don't seem to be having the problem.  It's wierd.
