Please edit arch/sparc64/kernel/setup.c, where it says:

static struct console prom_early_console = {
	.name =		"earlyprom",
	.write =	prom_console_write,
	.flags =	CON_PRINTBUFFER | CON_BOOT | CON_ANYTIME,
	.index =	-1,
};

and remove "CON_BOOT |".

This will allow you to see the crash message.

Please also double check that you patched the kernel with my
fix correctly.  I used your exact config, on the exact same
kind of system, reproducing the exact same hang, and it goes
away with my fix.
