In theory, if the kernel was overwritten during uncompressing, it may
oops/panic at any random moment while it's running, but it usually does
so while it's booting the kernel (i.e. before executing userland.)  It
also depends on which options you've compiled the kernel with, so for
example it might disappear when turning a certain driver on or off in
the kernel config.

It's easy to recognise by the fact that the instruction pointer does
point into the regular kernel area, but the hexadecimal instruction
dump (Code:) looks like garbage (i.e. not like ARM instructions.)
