Ok, a couple screens worth of what I would assume to be debuggin
symbols, and these are the last 4 lines of the kernel panic (after
setting /etc/default/pcmcia to pcmcia="yes" and rebooting).
Code: 8b 41 04 85 c9 74 22 8b 5a 18 8b 02 89 01 8b 0a 85 c9 74 08
Aiee, killing interrupt handler
Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill the idel task!
In interrupt handler - not syncing
and that's it, right after INIT starts the pcmcia services (I think, it
flashes into the debug for the kernel awful quick)
