With the equity method, losses flow through to the income statement until the balance sheet account reaches zero. Thereafter, you cease using the equity method (don't ask me what happens next -- I don't think you need to know).
When dealing with a consolidation (full or proportionate), there is no limitation in the amount of losses that flow through. Remember, this is a consolidation, and the subsidiary's assets and liabilities no matter the amounts, are combined into the parent.
