The latest Git kernel doesn't boot anymore on our e5500 machines (QEMU, X5000, Mirari etc) after the PowerPC updates 6.19-1.

Hi All,
Here is the
alpha4 of kernel
6.19 with the first PowerPC updates for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs).
Download and further information:
github.com
Unfortunately our e5500 machines don't boot with the alpha4 with the first PowerPC updates. I created a second package for the e5500 machines without the first PowerPC updates.
Please test the kernels.
Thanks,
Christian

Hi All,
Here is the
alpha5 of kernel
6.19 for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs).
I have found the first bad commit because of the boot issue on our e5500 machines and created a patch for reverting this commit.
