Umm, well.  It has hit a debug exception.  Which is quite weird, since
normally no debug exceptions are enabled.  Also, both %eip and %esp are
invalid, although all the selectors are ok.  It looks like the loader
literally went off into la-la land somehow.  One thing you can try to
do is to add in lots of debugging printf's to narrow down where it is
dying.  These aren't overclocked CPU's by any chance are they?
