Bad EIP value - Kernel Panic


when i insmod my own floppy driver, and commit "mount -t msdos /dev/vf /mnt/vf" (where /dev/vf is a virtual floppy which would actually access an on-disk .img file), error occurs as follows:

Code:
[<c01647d5>] sync_buffer+0x26/0x27
...
[<c03036f3>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb
Code: Bad EIP value.
 <0>Fatal exception: panic in 5 seconds
Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
My questions include:

1. PC is hung and i cannot see information above the screen boarder. And, on next reboot, dmesg info would be reset. Then, how can I know what's wrong with the kernel?

2. Information such as "[<c03036f3>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb" mean what for each of its fields?

3. What may cause "Bad EIP value" error?

Thank you.

When kernel is in panic all system really hangs up and you can do nothing. By the way, dmess is cleared as well. It is a linux feature.
Do you use the latest kernel? If you do, probably, you have a bad hardware.
