Here's the kernel messages (from Sergei who is CC'd)

Subject: 2.6.18-rt6 failure on MPC8540ADS

   My PPC32 board doesn't boot with 2.6.18-rt6, I'm getting this nice trace:

Time: timebase clocksource has been installed.

    After looking into the source, I figured out that handle_fasteoi_irq() is 
trying to call ack() handler for the irq_chip but arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c 
(driving OpenPIC-compatible chips) doesn't have it (and I suppose is not 
obliged to since it's using the "fasteoi" flow)...

WBR, Sergei
