Booting stops with disabled wait state

An automatic processor type check might stop the boot process with a disabled wait PSW.

On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP4, a processor type check is automatically run at every kernel startup. If the check determines that SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP4 is not compatible with the hardware, it stops the boot process with a disabled wait PSW 0x000a0000/0x8badcccc.

If this problem occurs, ensure that you are running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP4 on supported hardware. See the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP4 release notes at www.suse.com/releasenotes.
