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..
