I had a similar behaviour when I disactivated the caches of the PPC
core on my Efika. (Useful for debugging, but implied this crash) If
you also notice that, it could be worth investigating and making the
code work without caches.

You have to use nvedit/nvstore to explicitly select serial as your IO
system on the Efika.

Something like

" /builtin/serial" io

at the end of the script.
