Machine check is a standard ppc exception that usually happens when trying to use non-existing hardware. That's why I beleive one of your init scripts is causing serial.o to be insmod'ed incorrectly. (This just happened to me todday with debian/ppc on a 8500 and a 2.2.14 kernel). To find out where the error actually happened, look at the "NIP" field of the error, and lookup this address in System.map to find out which routine is related.
