Hi Brent,

At this point, things go bad.  I've tried two things. 1) hitting enter and
letting things fall as they may.  This didn't work since there seemed to
be a problem with it dropping the middle digit of the first octet of the
src/dst IP addresses in the boot args.  2)  explicitly defining the boot
arguments with appropriate settings.

Do you by any chance have the CPU6 workarounds enabled?

If so, try commenting out the following lines in
arch/ppc/kernel/head.S:set_dec:

        lis     r7, cmd_line@h                  ###
        ori     r7, r7, cmd_line@l              ###
        li      r4, 0x2c00                      ###
        stw     r4, 12(r7)                      ###
        lwz     r4, 12(r7)                      ###

This workaround will cause your kernel command line to get trashed.

Regards,
Graham
