I've had this problem for a while but I waited until the 1.3 release kit
emerged before raising this, unfortunately it has not resolved my problem.
When I reboot the PS3, the last thing to be displayed is:
Synchronizing SCSI cache for disk sda
Synchronizing SCSI cache for disk sda
Then I get a full hardware crash and have to hit the power switch at the
back. If I just do a shutdown, this works fine. This error is
reproducible running both Gentoo and FC6. I am using a 120gb Fujitsu
drive. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
Thanks in advance,
Edward

Please send this kind of PS3 specific post to the cbe-oss-dev mailing
list next time:

I guess that is not true. The polling code for the vuart wasn't working
properly so it was just spinning. Please press the power button for about 10 sec.
The HV will gain control and shutdown the lpar.

I just added power button support to ps3-linux.git the other day. Either update
to that, or backport the fix to your kernel.
