This OOPS occured at boot time when I did not have my Belkin BusPort Mobile USB host-controller inserted. /etc/usb/rc.usb tried loading usb-ohci. After the boot process completed (after the OOPS occured), I was unable to unload the module and lsmod showed that usb-ohci was still initializing. Presumably, it got wedged when the OOPS occured? ksymoops 2.3.5 on i686 2.4.0-test13-pre6.
