Occasional kernel panic...

    We routinely build ISO's and occasionally one fails to boot (with a
    kernel panic). I've attached a screenshot of the kernel panic.

    The ISO's are all built using script files and they are always built the
    same way. They may include new packages but the boot image is built the
    same way each time (using mkbimage).

    The boot image appears to contain all the appropriate files. The only
    observable differences occur in the initrd.img and in boot/grub/stage2.

    I've loop mounted both good and bad initrds and they appear to be good,
    though the executables do report differences (I assume these are date
    stamps and such).

    The grub/stage2 files are the same size but have differences (or so diff
    says). These differences are similar (a 9 or 10 byte difference)
    whether we diff between good images or a good and a bad image.

    How would one diagnose this? How would one automatically detect this?
    Any assistance would be appreciated?
