Make sure you have the latest yaboot (1.2.3), and add an initrd=<path>
line to your yaboot.conf in order to load the kernel's System.map along
with the kernel image. Also, enable xmon in your kernel. This will give
you some symbols lookup in xmon backtrace which is cool :)

If that crash ever happens again, send me the backtrace (or just copy me
PC, LR and the backtrace values and send along System.map)

Ben.
