We have run crashme on a IBM server with 2 Intel dual-core CPU, a SUN server with 2 AMD Opteron single-core CPU and a SUN server with 8 AMD Opteron dual-core CPU. Running crashme can trigger kernel panic on all platforms after the second patch is applied to 2.6.16.4. And when kernel panic happens, there's only "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init" on the screen. Please let me know if you need any further information.
