Not that I know of the pattern has been if the signature check failed the 
kernel would panic and talk a lot about about:

unable to handle kernel null pointer dereference

A google search revealed the it could be unloading some sort of variable 
that had not been initialized.

I have mostly ignored this issue until I had something more robust and the 
phenomena may have been due to the fpga not having enough time to
configure finish and startup before probing started (as the new designs are 
somewhat larger, or may take longer time to initialize)
