Do you know what caused the kernel panic?

I'm pretty sure that the Fast flag is granted based on advertised
bandwidth, not consensus bandwidth:

https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/1854

This is most apparent in the fact that a new relay will often get the
Fast flag hours after being started, while its consensus bandwidth is
still 20 KB/s.

Anecdotally, my OpenBSD exit node has the fast flag too:
