Call Trace and scary messages on kernel 2.6.27-rc5

[Rogério Brito]

Hi there.

I just compiled a new 2.6.27-rc5 kernel for my standard Kurobox (an
embedded NAS that has an MPC8241 CPU, if I'm not mistaken) and upon
booting, I get these scary messages and Call Traces:

I'm attaching the dmesg and my .config to this message if it is needed.
If anything else is needed, please let me know. This kernel was
cross-compiled with my own homebrewed system (I'm using Debian unstable
for x86-64 on the host and Debian testing for powerpc on the target).

I am open to any suggestions. If I can help chasing the cause of such
scary messages in anyway, please let me know.


Thanks in advance, Rogério Brito.
