Hello, I am trying to boot into any of (that is, minimal or universal) Gentoo Install CD 2008.0 on a T-Platforms' 1U cell server which is essentially the same as IBM QS22 blade plus some additional peripherals. I am watching on both a SOL session and a serial console on ttyS1. I am successfully getting into yaboot prompt. Then I tried many choices, including the default and including passing the console=... to the kernel command line. In all cases boot doesn't go any farther than boot: Please wait, loading kernel... Elf64 kernel loaded... Loading ramdisk... ramdisk loaded at 01f00000, size: 3550 Kbytes OF stdout device is: /axon@10000000000/plb5/plb4/opb/serial@40000200 command line: root=/dev/ram root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs cdroot memory layout at init: alloc_bottom : 0000000002278000 alloc_top : 0000000030000000 alloc_top_hi : 0000000800000000 rmo_top : 0000000030000000 ram_top : 0000000800000000 Looking for displays found display : /axon@10000000000/plb5/pciex@a00000a000000000/pci@0/display@0,1, opening ... done instantiating rtas at 0x000000002fff3000 ... done 0000000000000000 : boot cpu 0000000000000000 0000000000000002 : starting cpu hw idx 0000000000000002... done copying OF device tree ...

Are you still running into this problem? Please try one of the new autobuilds and reopen if its still an issue: http://gentoo.osuosl.org/releases/ppc/autobuilds/
Mark, sorry, I lost free access to the hardware. Sometimes I access systems of our customers but these are production systems which obviously cannot be easily rebooted. Since opening this bug I didn't look into the problem further for I have a bootable CD which gives me shell access.
