I'm not sure if those problems are related :) The register dumps would
be needed if the kernel fails to initialize the CPU (as in: try to boot
a non-SMP kernel on lebrun - but I guess that works well in lebrun's
case). See #440720
I find it interesting though, that the machine is still accessible - but
probably this was just the same here and I should have been a bit
patient for half an hour or so.
Unfortunately the machine didn;t want to boot the kernel I've build with
a lot of debug stuff included.... I'll give this another try when I have
some spare time.
