Forget this,

This is a design flaw in libklibc's run-init. It requires that
non-removable files or directories are only in / (root) otherwise its
nuke recursion breaks and kills run-init which runs with pid 1.

The result is the observed panic.

The other panic on certain boards went away around the time I upgraded
to kernel 2.6.24.

Thanks
