Ok, I found this kernel commit:

    Input: add option to disable HP SDC driver
    
    Add "no_hpsdc" kernel module option to the hp_sdc driver, so that
    the driver can be instructed to not enable the HP SDC port.
    
    This is useful on some older HPPA boxes with HIL keyboard
    and HIL mouse where the new HP SDC HIL drivers don't work
    yet. By disabling the new hp_sdc driver users are able to use
    the older hilkbd driver instead.

Can you try to boot with the "no_hpsdc=1" kernel parameter ?

But I don't think the hp_sdc driver is the real issue why one lifimage
boots while the other doesn't...
