Even though I was able to boot up with kernels v3.19 or v4.1 smoothly. On closer inspection of Dmesg logs. There is an I/O error during bootup for 3.19 and 4.1 which I don't see for v3.16 kernel. This error is similar to the one we get in 15.04 installation to RAID.

Dmesg logs are attached

This gives me the basis for going ahead with bisection.

2) Further I had to forgo and re-build my environment since the build seems to have gone into a bad state when was moving around some files after upgrading kernel to v4.1.

BUT now, I am NO longer able to generate the custom .deb kernel packages for PPC64LE arch.

Instead

make -j `getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN` deb-pkg LOCALVERSION=-custom

now generates POWERPC arch images instead of PPC64LE.

For example:
linux-headers-3.18.0-custom_3.18.0-custom-2_powerpc.deb

Am I missing something ? I was successfully able to generate kernel deb packages yesterday for PPC64LE. I want to try and replicate that environment so that I can go ahead with bisection
