console on POWER4 not working with 2.6.15

The connection of ttyS0 to /dev/console doesnt seem to work anymore mit
2.6.15-rc5+6 on a POWER4 p630 in fullsystempartition mode, no HMC
connected. It works with 2.6.14.4.
I tested 2.6.15-rc6 arch/powerpc/configs/ppc64_defconfig.
Our SLES9 /init script in initramfs doesnt print anything with 2.6.15
after 'Freeing unused kernel memory: 360k freed'. But it does print its
banner with 2.6.14.4.  Other system with hvc console appear to work,
like JS20 or some POWER5 boxes.
So this regression seems to be local to ttyS0. The bootlog shows that
the firmware stdout device is properly detected at "COM1".
I will try older rc kernels now, but I may lose remote control of the
system.

The system appears to boot a bit into the init scripts, as the (unknown)
TIOCGDEV ioctl indicates. sysrq is not recognized. Forcing the system
into xmon shows all cpus are idle. Triggering a sysrq t via PS/2
keyboard shows this:
