Hi there,

On  31 Aug, this message from David D. Kilzer echoed through cyberspace:

This might be a shot in the dark, but I never heard of anyone
successfully compiling in standard serial support on the PowerMacs. I
tried it myself; I would get a panic upon initializing the serial
driver (exactly like above..).

So you might want to disable standard serial suport, and recompile...
