Good news :) I found the bug.
MMU features were not set properly for PPC970MP DD1.0 which,
unfortunately, my machine has.
Damn, one line fix but one week searching.
Linux 3.8.2 boots without problems now :)

Nice one ! I didn't think anybody shipped a DD1.0 chip ! :-)

Looks like some typo/thinko in the cputable and you are one of the very
rare victims of it. I'll fix that up. Regarding the IDE problem, can you
shoot a note to Tejun who wrote that patch (and CC me) ? I do recommend
switching to libata but we should still fix the problem with legacy IDE.

Cheers,
Ben.
