The ibm,client-architecture method will often cause a reconfiguration reboot. When this happens the last thing we see is: Hypertas detected, assuming LPAR ! Which doesn't explain what just happened. Wrap the ibm,client-architecture so it's clear what is going on: Calling ibm,client-architecture... done In order to maintain the law of conservation of screen real estate, downgrade two other messages to debug.
