I guess it dies because it's unable to open a primary console. Perhaps I could add a USB serial dongle, and boot with console on serial? Created attachment 769394 [details]

It dies after the console is taken over by the VT subsystem and before an actual fb driver picks up. It would be nice if we could one day fix it so that VT only takes over the kernel console when some kind of backend actually starts. Can you try adding "udbg-immortal" to your kernel command line ? That might give us more data. Created attachment 769511 [details]

camera screenshot with udbg-immortal lower part
Added a two-part camera screenshot of the hanging bootscreen with udbg-immortal. Thanks. That *might* be something we fixed already but let me check with Mikey first. I'll come back to you. This is fixed upstream in 82a9f16 (powerpc/hw_breakpoints: Add DABRX cpu feature to fix 32-bit regression). It's in 3.9.6 stable also. Fedora 18 is on 3.9.6-200.fc18 for primary arches and will be moving to 3.9.9 soon. Looks like the ppc builders just need to catch up. I'll mark this as modified until 3.9.6 or newer hits the ppc repos. I can confirm that I can boot successfully again with 3.11.0-0.rc1.git1.1.fc20.ppc I get a lot of these, though: WARNING: at include/linux/pagemap.h:154 (...) I didn't get those with the last working kernel. Should I report these somewhere? They seem to be provoked by userspace.
