I appreciate your optimism, but it most certainly doesn't boot.
Andy and I have been going over it, and we're wondering if perhaps
it's the CONFIG_NEED_PER_CPU_KM bit, which is mutually exclusive
with CONFIG_SMP.

linux-image-3.2.0-19-powerpc-smp (3.2.0-19.30) won't boot.
linux-image-3.2.0-18-powerpc (3.2.0-18.29) works just fine.

It's an OldWorld Beige G3 with one of the many 1GHz upgrade
boards that were popular long ago, sadly, I don't recall
which brand/model, though I suspect I'd have the same
problem booting if I dug up the original CPU and stuck it
back in.

I'm not entirely sure what more info you might want than
"OldWorld G3 Tower", but if there's something specific you'd
like me digging for, I'm all ears.
