Those messages show a definite problem. The last time I saw a line
starting with "Code: ", my kernel Oopsed.

What does it say before the registers && the stack? (you might need to
set up a serial console, but scroll lock should work after init starts
if you don't mind using pen && paper) What do your logs say (I'm
wondering about what they said for the successful boot with pcmcia)?
