If you are having trouble with kernel panic's then i suggest you read;
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/oops-tracing.txt
too find out what is causing the oops'n.

To behonest i doubt if the errors below would cause one as modprobe will not 
load modules with errors like those, so if a module is NOT loaded it should 
NOT cause an oops should it.!.

What you possably did not do was follow the Kernel-HOWTO found in your 
/usr/doc or /usr/share/doc directory's.
