This G4 boots from an IDE disk and still has the R128 it came with.  
I'd strongly suggest to try a uniprocessor kernel to check if the  
problem is really SMP related.
Then, did you build your own kernels? If so please try a /very/  
recent 4.0 GENERIC. Also, those links to dmesg and ofctl output you  
posted earlier don't seem to work right now ( www. submoron.org  
doesn't resolve )
Finally, do you run into the same problem when attempting to boot  
from any IDE device?

have fun
Michael
