Kernel panic as an unneeded event.

[David Nicol]

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.
