After booting and initscripts I get some kind of error like a BUG() but
I can't see what it is because it scrolls off with repeated "unable to
handle kernel paging request" messages. The first error shows a stack trace
(briefly) but all the rest just show the offsets without the text.
If I choose just Generic IDE then I can boot (of course I don't get to
use ATA/133). No mouse, but since that error has been there since 2.4.20
pre8 I'm pretty sure it's not related.
There are no error messages in the logs - just a long series of <nul>
where the messages would be.

Stick a while(1); at the end of the stack dump code and you should get
jus tthe first oops you can read

You may want to block interrupts as well, I've used this trick (given by
akpm) before, and sometimes whatever is wrong will generate a double panic
on interrupt shortly after the first OOPS output.
