This surely is interesting background information.
Only, the installed system also showed a panic when I put that same CF-Disk in an alix board (the one I talked in my message with this "[misc] tfdpd doesn't deliver pxeboot file" title). It booted just fine, but also panicked on halt. So there might be more to it. Of course, these systems probably are rarely halted anyway. But still, who knows what else is hiding behind such a panic.
