Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.20-13-generic
The diskless box uses multiple nfs shares stacked with unionfs as root file system (see http://www.evolware.org/chri/hopeless.html). After upgrading to Feisty I got this kernel dump below. When booting the same system with linux-image-2.6.17-11 (Edgy) ist just comes up fine. The oops happens shortly after finishing initramfs, during regular system init phase.
