On my box, the kernel panics on IDE initialization if I don't enable builtin PowerMac IDE. There's no problem compiling the kernel, though... and I haven't had time to trace the problems. Might be a missing function definition (although linker should catch that?) or an undefined constant? Or the uninitialized ppc_ide_md array?
