[ydl-gen] YDL 4.1 on a G5-1.8-Single

Hi,

I cannot seem to get YDL 4.1 to work on a Powermac G5 Single (Powermac 
9,1).  It installs ok but once I reboot the thing locks up abotu 30 
minutes after boot and after a while starts outputting the following 
messages:

hda: lost interrupt
mipc_enable_irq timeout


It seems to work fine, however, on a Dual-Proc 2.0 or 2.7 machine.  
Furthermore, if I use one of the dual-proc machines to try and compile a 
new kernel (a stock kernel... i.e. 2.6.15.6) using the default config 
(from arch/powerpc/configs/g5_defconfig) it will not compile.  I get the 
following error message:

Has anyone been successful at getting 4.1 up and running on the newer 
single 1.8 machines?  I had 4.0.91 running without a problem.
