Hmm, I can't reproduce it here.

Unfortunately, this is still incomplete because it is missing the Code: tag and
the end trace tag which looks like this

---[ end trace ... ]---

and this is most probably so because we're halting and cannot print out
all the oops. Two things you can do:

1. Connect the machine to another machine over serial- or netconsole.
Google for instructions how.

2. If you can't do 1. you can try enabling CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY and
boot the kernel with 'boot_delay=10', for example, so that a 10ms delay
is inserted after each printk line. This might let us see more on the
console before halt and catch the whole oops.

Thanks.
