There is a non-trivial problem with the device tree reported by your firmware, several PCI device nodes are reported multiple times. If you'll look 'isa' appears twice, and so does 'pmu'. This is a very serious issue. And that's what is causing all of these boot failures. I have two theories, either the Tulip card makes the firmware corrupt the device tree like this. Or, alternatively, there is some bug in the version of OBP installed on this machine. This really isn't a kernel bug. And if it worked in the past, it worked entirely by accident. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
