I'm going to try several other combinations of things, including taking
one memory stick out since this could actually be that the hardware
doesn't like that much memory.

There is at least one problem with serial console on pmac.. I removed the
memory (except for 1 512mb dimm)


If I turn serial console on, I get a machine check in
serial_console_write during the PCI probing.

This only shows up if Xmon is NOT compiled in.. since xmon tries to use
the port (and presumably dies also)

Another note: The serial works fine after the machine is booted up.
