2.6.31-git5 kernel boot hangs on powerpc

[Sachin Sant]

2.6.31-git5(0cb583fd2862f19ea88b02eb307d11c09e51e2f8)
kernel fails to boot on powerpc box. 
31-git4(18240904960a39e582ced8ba8ececb10b8c22dd3) boots fine.

The machine hangs just after following messages

Mount CIFS File Systems                            unused
Loading CPUFreq modules (CPUFreq not supported)
Starting HAL daemon                                done
NET: Registered protocol family 10

I don't get any other messages, so not sure what the problem
is. 

I tried enabling CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR and rebooted the
box to see if i could obtain debug messages. With this config
option enabled i observed the following messages in the dmesg
buffer.
