No.
And as far as I can remember, before it hangs, I can see on screen all services being stopped one by
one, and one of them is sshd.

Last time it happened I was using 2.6.32.2 with a config "based" on ps3_defconfig.
I needed to change (mostly enable) extra things like LVM, USB (ehci & ohci as modules), multimedia,
SELinux, iptables.
A plain ps3_defconfig stops halfway through the initialization.
I can send (not now though) the config I used.
