Sorry for the trouble, I accidentally applied the patch ps3-hires-defconfig.diff
(below) when committing.  'mode:5' is 1080p, which your monitor does not support.
Just set the mode to one your monitor supports.

BTW, you need to build the video mode into kernel with CONFIG_CMDLINE since I
don't yet have the code to parse and use the command line from kboot done.
