I don't have any of those machines, but it seems that older kernels running on the Lombard emitted: device-tree: Duplicate name in /cpus/PowerPC,[EMAIL PROTECTED], renamed to "l2-cache#1" messages*. Experimenting with adding two chosen nodes (due to a prior thread on this list**) results in a hung kernel on the 8360 also, so perhaps they're related (and the kernel's tolerance to duplicate entries has changed, which explains where I had seen the chosen node being renamed). but yeah, size-cells should be allowed to be 0 (even address-cells) and it may be the case that the Lombard needs some fixup code.
