Hmm not sure what is happening here. Looks like something is getting
trashed. What is your memory configuration i.e. how many MB is each of the
4 banks ?

Something else you could ry would be to get on of the latest snapshot
kernels say the RISCPC or VOYAGER ones and try booting that. You should
get a panic when it cannot mount a root file system but it might prove
interesting to know whether recent kernels get further than probing
podulebus.
