[redhat-lspp] lspp.9 kernel released

[George Wilson]

Hi Steve,

Looks like there is a problem with the .9 pSeries kernel.  It's one of
those 32-bit compressed, allegedly 64-bit kernels, and is only built for 4
CPUs.  I'm trying it on a Squadrons HV4 LPAR w/FC5T3 as the base.  The
initrd is ignored, and sometimes, as in this case, the kernel enters xmon
after prom_init.  The .8 kernel was 64-bit (compressed?) and booted fine.
We've only been able to get the uncompressed vmlinux to work when we build
kernel.org kernels.  Plus it looks like the Fedora kernel srpm uses plain
vmlinux but renames it to vmlinuz.  Comments in the powerpc arch makefile
indicate that the kernel is intentionally 32-bit compressed.

Here's the xmon info:
