Subject: [patch 1/2] powerpc: Print progress of ibm, client-architecture method
Date: Wed, 01 Apr 2009 17:06:14 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090401060656.920561864@samba.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20090401060613.377489909@samba.org

The ibm,client-architecture method will often cause a reconfiguration reboot.
When this happens the last thing we see is:

	Hypertas detected, assuming LPAR !

Which doesn't explain what just happened. Wrap the ibm,client-architecture
so it's clear what is going on:

	Calling ibm,client-architecture... done

In order to maintain the law of conservation of screen real estate, downgrade
two other messages to debug.
