All 2.6.29 versions fail to boot on Sun Blade 1000 due to 4201_fbcondecor-0.9.6.patch, removing that patch works fine. I need to test with the one in 2.6.28(2.6.28 worked fine).

Does this kernel provide a framebuffer device? If so, which driver is providing the framebuffer?
There are known problems with this kernel on SB1000/2000 systems, but I don't think I've seen this one addressed. (The problems I am aware of are related to the qla microcode for the disks). In general, I infer from the traffic on the sparclinux@vger.kernel.org mailing list, several things underwent fairly major changes in 2.6.29*. Have you asked on the sparclinux list? They might have an answer, but I don't off hand.
Michal, any ideas?
Raúl/Ferris: attaching dmesg from a working 2.6.28 boot would probably be enough to answer Michal's question

Is fbcondecor enabled in the kernel that fails too boot (i.e. CONFIG_FB_CON_DECOR=y) or is it the mere presence of the patch in the kernel tree that causes it to break?

Still happening with gentoo-sources-2.6.30-r4, can you stop applying the patch on sparc? Thanks
Applied change to kernel-2.eclass. The fbcondecor patch will no longer be applied to sparc/sparc64 for kernels >= 2.6.29 until we fix the issue. Thanks for testing, Raul.
Michal, do we have any news on this one?
Could you please try it with the following version of the patch: http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/fbcondecor/archive/fbcondecor-0.9.6-2.6.33-rc7.patch I went through all the changes that fbcondecor makes in fbcon.c and tried to make sure that if fbcondecor is disabled, the code behaves exactly as if the patch hadn't been applied at all.
