Description Ferenc Osz 2005-09-01 12:03:57 UTC 
IBM pSeries RS/6000 7025-6F0. Trying to install OpenSuSE Beta3 and 4. Booting
from install CD -- it hangs after 'returning from prom_init' and wants power
cycle. It seems a kernel bug, discussed  at
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0409.3/1388.html. 

I've got the same problem on Gentoo PPC64 and Fedora PPC64 install (all have
kernels above 2.6.8), but any older linux (e.g. RedHat 7.1 PPC, SLES7 PPC) works
well.

No, its this patch. yours is a p620 and this patch will likely fix it.

it will not help a p660.

I have added this change now to our 2.6.13.
