Heh. I didn't think of that either. I found similar information somewhere
else on the site. In any case, I was just hoping you could post enough
relevant information for someone to help you out.

You show the following three lines in the output below.

panic_ide: enabling IDE bus ID 2
panic_ide: enabling IDE bus ID 0
panic_ide: enabling IDE bus ID 1

Perhaps the actual output was pmac_ide: rather than panic_ide: ? I would
have expected pmac_ide:, but if it really includes the word "panic"...

Your boot fails at the same point that my machine detects the PCI bus
location of my SCSI card. As I understand it, there is no support for your
39160, so maybe that is related to the failure. If you are up for mucking
with your hardware a bit, you might want to try booting with the SCSI card
removed. Obviously not a solution, but it might pin point the problem, or
at least eliminate one possibility. Sorry I don't have anything more
concrete.
