I just tried mainline 2.6.29-rc3 (commit 18e352e4a73465349711a9324767e1b2453383e2)
with ps3_defconfig on fedora 9 and firmware 2.5.0, and it works OK for me.

I put the image here:

  http://cell.gotdns.org/pub/vmlinux-2.6.29-rc3.strip

with a file sha1sum:

  b4074168a184d0fa0d1dd7be5326de2bf2f1ce68 vmlinux-2.6.29-rc3.strip

Why don't you try it and report.
