latest F8 kernel fails to boot on ps3

[Patrick Mansfield]

Hi -

I can't boot my ps3 with the current F8 kernel. Any ideas?

I'm using geoff's recent kboot / otheros.bld, this one:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/CELL-Linux-CL_20071220-ADDON/PS3/otheros/otheros.bld

I have the latest ps3 firmware, must be 2.10.

The *previous* F8 kernel 2.6.23.8-63.fc8 boots fine.

The latest F8 kernel 2.6.23.9-85.fc8 fails.

I also tried 2.6.23.12-99.fc, via rpm at:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/packages/kernel/2.6.23.12/99.fc8/ppc64/kernel-2.6.23.12-99.fc8.ppc64.rpm

The system gets to the kboot prompt, I select a kernel, it starts to boot,
prints out a few lines, and then the last message I can see before it
blanks the screen out is "ps3_ehci_driver ...".

I'm using a 22" Samsung monitor, it lies about its supported resolution
(says it can do 1080i but it really can't), so I'm using yaboot.conf with
video override, I also got rid of the boot by label per other bug, I have
this:

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.12-99.fc8
	label=2.6.23.12-99.fc
	read-only
	initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.23.12-99.fc8.img
	append="video=720p root=/dev/ps3da1 selinux=0"
