I have an IBM POWER6-based system (IBM BladeCenter JS22), running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (SP2). While kernel version 2.6.33.3 works fine, 2.6.34 fails at boot. I have tried several versions (pre-stable, stable 2.6.34, and 2.6.34-git16) but all of them failed. The error I am obtaining is the following one (the output is for 2.6.34-git16, but I get basically the same with 2.6.34 (stable)): === error output begin === Starting ipr initialization daemon done

Can you add your .config here? pseries_defconfig boots fine for me with the same kernel.
I wonder if CONFIG_IRQSTACKS isn't enabled.
I used arch/powerpc/configs/pseries_defconfig and, still, the system continues to fail while booting. In both this configuration file and the one I was using originally (which I'm attaching), CONFIG_IRQSTACKS is enabled. Just in case, LILO configuration entry for the kernel is: image = /boot/vmlinux-2.6.34-vjj ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux### label = 2.6.34-vjj append = " quiet
