works with the default config file in arch/ppc/configs/redwood5_defconfig.
okay, that was stupid. i'm going to go out and commit a suicide now.

BTW, FYI, to get the nfs root mount to work, i had to append the cmdline paramters like:
"root=nfs rw ip=auto"

at first, i didn't add that since netroot_string is declared in misc-embedded.c and the old kernel i had mounted the root filesystem without the 'root=' parm.

well, that was a change.
