Description of problem:
IBM system x3690 x5 with Rhel 6.1s default kernel
I have found an issue in which and IBM system x3690 x5 will hang while trying to load kernel 2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.x86_64.

However I can load a RHEL 6.1 installation with Rhel 6.0s 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64.

When I try boot into 2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.x86_64 (rhel 6.1s default kernel) the server will hang while trying to load the initrd image.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Obtain x3690 x5
2. Either install rhel 6.1 (does not reach anaconda) or upgrade from 6
3. Envisage freezage.
  

Actual results:
Freezed while loading initrd image.


Expected results:

Can you please

a) add debug as a kernel parameter
b) attach the boot log from both the good kernel and bad kernel?

Thanks,

P.
