Hi,

One really simple way of getting some more info out of this is to take
the EIP value (here c0181ca0) and run it through addr2line:

    $ addr2line -e vmlinux -i c0181ca0

But you need to make sure that the bzImage/vmlinux you booted
corresponds to the vmlinux you are running addr2line against.

This will tell you the source line which produced the page fault and
will probably give a good clue as to what went wrong.

Thanks for reporting :-)
