I have tried applying this patch. This, however, gives me no change. The kernel still crashes as usual, and gives the same dump as before. So what now?
As Alan Cox suggested, I disabled APM in my kernel and recompiled it. When I halted the system, it simply said "Power Down," but didn't shut it down. It also didn't crash. I hope this info helps.
