I agree. I believe we ARE dealing with a kernel bug, and it is particular to the MPC823.
Let's hear some success stories--embedded units in production, running in the field for days, shutting down power and rebooting with no kernel panics. That may help convince me we are dealing with a hardware issue.

Have you tried to do complex operation on a 8xx board like compiling the kernel. This operation works well on a PPC740 board, but on a 8xx after a long time the kernel goes in an unstable state. Theses bugs are related to the 8xx MMU code.
