I would be almost certain that the PCI enabling is causing the
problem. The older sun4[cdm] machines have nothing to do with PCI,
and therefore will barf on the PCI code. Remove it from the kernel
config (CONFIG_PCI=n) and I bet the problem would be solved.

I'm going to try building a kernel and see if it works.
