Comment 3 for bug 376674

I finally found a workaround that seems to work so far.

1. I installed the experimental petitboot using a thumb drive
2. Rebooted in XMB with DEFAULT OS
3. I downloaded, burned, then inserted pdaXrom-ng-ps3-20090312 (Live boot disk)
4. Rebooted (Yes, I know it would seem that this was unnecessary, but I did it anyway)
5. In the petitboot GUI, I navigated to the livecd and chose the 1080p option
6. Screen went black, I freaked out, threw things around the room, cursed like a sailor (I'm a Marine), and rebooted
7. Back in the petitboot GUI now, I see my Linux OS and I booted to it...
8. SUCCESS!!!!! I know this is not the way it was intended to work, but it's acceptable to me until someone can figure the real solution.

In closing, I would not consider this "fixed" I would say that this might work for others have the same frustrating issues that I was having.

OH!!! I forgot to mention that I'm on the 80 gig PS3 upgraded to 320hd running the latest Sony update.
