Hello!

There's a regression somewhere in kernel, I'm unable to boot
installation kernel version 3.11.10-301.fc20.ppc64 of fedora 20 on IBM
JS22 (type 7998) blade. But my previous attempt with kernel
3.9.5-301.fc19.ppc64 was able to boot.

I have the following output with 3.11.10-301.fc20.ppc64 kernel:
