Immediately during boot it crashed w/ the attached config - no lines
within syslog  to post.

What error messages did you see on your screen?

I attached a screen shot.

Thanks! It's better that if you can capture these info via netconsole
or something like that, so that you copy and paste them into email.

I know - but I'm at home where I've only this ThinkPad ...

Hmm, it seems that a null pointer deref happened in
net/ipv4/devinet.c::inetdev_init(), so Cc'ing netdev guys....

Could you please run the command:

  addr2line -e your_2.6.32.8_vmlinux 0xc11fea28

to check in which line we dereferenced a null pointer?

Here's the information :

n22 /usr/src/linux-2.6.32.8 # addr2line -e vmlinux 0xc11fea28
devinet.c:0

Hmm, thanks, we already found the problem, I think the patch here:

http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/77357/

should be able to fix this problem.

Thanks for reporting!
