JS-20 and generic kernel 2.6.13.3

Hi,
I have downloaded and compiled the generic Linux kernel 2.6.13.3 for my 
JS-20 PPC IBM BladeServer.  When I attempt to boot the new kernel I get 
the following output.  Has anyone successfully tried to run the generic 
2.6.13.3 kernel on a JS-20 or have any idea what I am doing wrong?  As a 
word of caution, I am a Kernel newbie, so I might have done, or omitted 
something stupid.
