I have the same problem as Bart, and I can provide a bit more  
information. Obviously there is no guarantee that my extra  
information applies to Bart's laptop, but I bet it does.

The panic occurs after dhclient starts up and before it prints any  
messages about any network interfaces. I assume that dhclient is  
trying to configure the wireless interface, prompting the firmware  
loader to jump in to action and then we get the panic shortly after  
that. My laptop (glorious corporate standard laptop that it is) has  
no way of disabling the wireless card, you can only disable the radio  
on the wireless card.

I removed the wireless card from the laptop and everything worked fine.

I couldn't get g4u to boot in single user mode, so I can't get a  
dmesg report from the wireless card. The howto boot flag of (0x2)  
seems to be ignored and g4u always seemed to do a normal startup.

I expect that suitable workarounds will be to either include the wpi  
firmware on the miniroot, or remove the wpi driver from the kernel.

Cheers,
Lloyd
