"sync" should cause a core-dump before rebooting, but it doesn't.  The
boot and swap/dump devices haven't yet been identified at the point
where it panics.  (PCI-based PATA hard drive, yes.)

struct module_t has no member "mod_name".  Hunting it down, I think
the suggested printf should be:

if (mod->mod_required[i])
    printf("module %s requires module %s!\n",
        mod->mod_info->mi_name, mod->mod_required[i]->mod_info->mi_name);

(It's just finished compiling.  Will try shortly.)
