I get similar ide related errors or lockups on boot on my PB3400, with both
the packaged kernels available in frozen (.15pre? and .17pre?) but the
error message I see most often is "lost interrupt"  I haven't been able to
figure out why.  I can say that I ran several different older kernel
versions under LinuxPPC without ever having any IDE problems, before
switching to Debian...
