At least for i386 it is not a problem to use the Karmic kernel in Jaunty, generally any newer kernel works fine. Also, since it installs next to (and does not replace) the old kernel, there is no risk, you can always choose the old kernel when booting.

Seems like the oops happens before any userspace is detected, so it is not a Jaunty-Karmic compatibility issue. Please report it against the linux-ports package.
