The git-block patches in 2.6.23-mm1 freeze my ia64 SN Altix hard on boot.
Not good (tm).
Something broke between the git-block patch of Sept 26 in 2.6.23-rc8-mm2
and the git-block patches of Oct 10-11 in 2.6.23-mm1 on my ia64 SN Altix
system using sn2_defconfig.
Bisecting 2.6.23-mm1 narrows the problem down to the git-block patches:
git-block.patch
git-block-fixup-1.patch
git-block-fixup.patch
git-block-fixup-fix.patch
git-block-borkages.patch
git-block-s390-fix.patch
I can boot 2.6.23-rc8-mm2 fine, but I freeze early in boot
on 2.6.23-mm1, after the following prints on the console:
McKinley Errata 9 workaround not needed; disabling it

The next output that I -would- have expected, based on successful boots
without these patches, but never get, is:
