No joy, it's dead.

I removed "| CON_BOOT" and got what looks like the same oops
Raúl Porcel reported earlier today (which he for some reason
sent only to the lists, not to you or me); his oops was:

I got the oops in the same location (unpack_to_rootfs) with the
same call stack, only the code addresses differ.
Also, the data address my kernel oopsed on was 0000000010800000,
which was the physical address of the initrd.
