Subject: kernel dies if loopback device not intialized

This OOPS happens if system is booted up and loopback device
is not initialized. This means the loopback device is not yet in the
route table so when arp goes to send the error report, the route
lookup thinks it is a martian and then dies.

Granted this is a startup script problem, but kernel shouldn't die.
