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

[Stefan Wald]

Hi,
I'm afraid I have to withdraw my USB disk theory after further testing.
First, I couldn't recreate the problem with USB disk on the second PS3. It
still works fine with USB disk.
Second, I also saw the problem now without USB disk on the first PS3.
Remember, the problem shows up intermittently.
Sorry for the confusion,
Stefan
