hm.

- Try to get the full oops record, find out what the faulting address is
  ("unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address xxxx") and
  see if that lines up with any symbol in .vmlinux.

- Might be something bad in numa_policy_init().  I assume you don't have
  CONFIG_NUMA=y ;)


This'll be hard to diagnose without a full oops trace.
