Kernels after 2.6.30-rc1 stopped booting on my powerstation.  The ipr
just times out and refuses to probe devices.  If I let it drop into the
initramfs system, this is what the interrupts shows:

(initramfs) cat /proc/interrupts 
           CPU0       CPU1       CPU2       CPU3

BAD:        416

So you see the IPR is the only device not receiving them.

I can fix the boot hang by reverting
