Still cannot try this because your kernel wouldn't even survive yaboot.

With your tree I now have the problem that it doesn't even boot anymore. The CHRP kernel which worked before stopped after "CHRP kernel loader...", the elf-pmac one still crashes with: Elf32 kernel loaded... chrpboot starting: loaded at 0x01000000 heap at 0x00003000 gunzipping (0x00010000 <- 0x01006cf8:0x01155486)...
