So what happens when there is a problem with the fallback-to-crawl system?
I believe there appears in recent kernels a system for loading a different kernel, so you might be able to rig something to switch to your known-good instead of requiring you to reboot again, if you are in a panic/recompile/repeat cycle, but setting that up would certainly harder be than the problem at hand fixing.

Ok folks, here's a mindset wrench.
CAN we make a set of fallbacks to allow a certain minimal function allowing a potential "panic" to seek external help? This help could come from either defaults designed to establish a session with human agents or some AI mimic. Starting from the point I have left us at where it is taken as not arguable that a Knoppix concept routine set CAN establish a remote session and functional remote console interface, then the external intelligence hopefully could complete the Linux install.
Constructive comments anyone?
