Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22

The gusty livecd from 2007/06/13 (gutsy-desktop-powerpc+ps3.iso) does
not boot on the PS3.

At the kboot prompt, it prints
  Loading kernel with initrd...success.
  Booting system...
and then freezes (cursor stops blinking, ctrl-alt-delete no longer responds).

It seems to be a kernel problem.

This seems to also have been noted at:
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=468992
  http://psubuntu.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1650

Trying to boot the kernel manually does not work either:
/# kexec -l /mnt/root/casper/vmlinux
