Hi,

im working on android, kernel version 2.6.35.11
Briefly checking the dump, looks like it's ARM processor?
I got these logs showing kernel panic and the target is rebooting.

From the logs i understood in init process something is causing kernel
panic.
.....[cut]....
[<c01039d8>] (do_signal+0x68/0x640)

with the asumption that Android kernel is just another version of
Linux kernel, I think this backtrace shows us that something is wrong
with one (or more) work queue (or thread worker? something like that)
you or somebody else has made.

So, do you recally creating one?
<0>[?? 85.237542] Rebooting in 5 seconds..

(__irq_usr+0x48/0xe0)
So, rebooting fails? looks like something is clobbering the kernel
stack way too much IMHO...

ffffffff
I am not familiar with those register names, sorry...
