Machine check in kernel mode.

This might be a shot in the dark, but I never heard of anyone
successfully compiling in standard serial support on the PowerMacs. I
tried it myself; I would get a panic upon initializing the serial
driver (exactly like above..).

So you might want to disable standard serial suport, and recompile...

Yes!  Thanks for all the help!  This was the problem.  I removed
CONFIG_SERIAL and it booted!

Unfortunately, I still get a "Processor 1 stuck." message on boot, which
apparently makes it absent from /proc/cpuinfo as well.  This is booting
from the BootX application in Mac OS (with or without extensions loaded).

I haven't tried booting from OF or with the BootX extension yet.

Thanks again for all the help!!  (Anyone get 2.3.x to boot with SMP? :^)
