[Cbe-oss-dev] Fw: intermittend ps3fb problem with 2.6.29-rc2 on ps3

[Stefan Wald]

in the meantime have checked without ps3vram. and the problem shows up
without ps3vram as well.
it appears that ps3fb is already broken in the early stages of linux boot
right after kboot or petitboot starts the linux-kernel because i'm not
seeing any linux boot messages when the problem occurs.
frequency of occurrence: about every other boot.
thanks,
stefan,
