4.8-STABLE Kernel Panic with dummynet options.

I first met this problem when our (60 students) internetgateway refused to
boot its new kernel, it was a 4.7-RELEASE. Then i loaded the old kernel and
went home to check if my 4.8-STABLE does likewise. And the answer was yes!
Both kernels were GENERIC + these options taken from the dummynet man pages:

options         DUMMYNET
options         NMBCLUSTERS
options         HZ

When i boot the machine it suddently reboots when the kernel starts loading,
i can just manage to see something about "panic: mbinit" before it reboots.

Both systems are i386.
I hope any of you can tell what's wrong, i really need this feature.
