Using the 2.6.25 sources from our linux-ports git tree I was able to get it to shutdown semi-reliably by setting CONFIG_FB_PS3_SIZE to 9MB instead of 18. Then I just got random lockups instead of consistent ones.
After applying the the 4 backport patches from the v2.6.25-stable.2 tag in Geoff L's ps3-linux-patches.git tree I think the problem may be solved completely. Needs more testing though.
Hi I think this problem is very nearly fixed.
