It appartently has to do with the network (ifconfig) although I'm not 100%. I tried changing several settings in the kernel (to many to write down here) but all give the same result.

Steps to reproduce:
- Build a 2.6.24.3 for Sparc64
- Boot a SUN Sparc64 machine with this kernel
- System gets stuck during boot but after a while it continues its boot.

I expect it would be useful if you tell us the latest version of the kernel on which this didn't happen. ie: what kernel version were you running before you "up"graded to 2.6.24?

Thanks.
