I don't see savecore being run on boot. I manually ran it and it said: 
savecore: No dumps found.


The panics are something along panic: ain't going nowhere without my 
init! (I'm forcing these by sending lots of unknown signals to init)
The other (real) panics are random (process-wise). I don't have much 
more info about these as I never get to see the server screen and 
they're not being logged..
