One thing that's wrong there, you need to install the 32 bit kernel and
modules for a C360.  I don't imagine that is the cause of your problem
though.  Although a C360 will run 64 bit, that isn't completely supported
under linux yet.

101fc2b8 T _gsc_readb
101fc2cc T _gsc_readw

101a5118 t serial_in
101a5134 t .L687
101a5160 t .L693
101a5160 t serial_out

So it looks like serial_in() called _gsc_readb(0xffd05805).

On booting, my C360 says

1. Raven U/L2 Dino RS-232 (10) at 0xf2003000, versions 0x6, 0x0, 0x8c, 0x0, 0x0 
3. Raven+ w SE FWSCSI Core RS-232 (10) at 0xffd05000, versions 0x56, 0x0, 0x8c, 0x0, 0x0
...
ttyS00 at iomem 0xffd05800 (irq = 154) is a 16550A 
...

So 0xffd05805 looks like a reasonable address for it to try and access.

Does it crash at the same place if you try again?
