Compiling a kernel

[David Hacker]

It has something to do with powermac ide controlers.  More than likely 
you selected some that aren't in the YDL version of the kernel.  
Unfortunately I have found that terrasoft removes some portions of the 
kernel but doesn't remove them from the config menu.  I would look at 
the config file under ide and see what you have selected and remove any 
that don't seem necessary for your setup.
