Subject: Kernel (3.0 and later) panic

Versions 3.0 and later of the Linux kernel get a null pointer panic when
booting on a Soekris Net6501 board.

The documentation for that board is at:

  http://soekris.com/media/manuals/net6501_manual.pdf

(It's an Intel Atom based board.)

The panic does not occur with kernel 2.6.39.4, so it appears that
something added in the 2.6.39.4 ==> 3.0 transition is causing this.

Attached is a dmesg showing the panic.

This occurs 100% of the time.

Please let me know if you need the .config used to build the kernel.
