Graf_Chokolo PS3 Linux Kernel to 2.6?

[vipes209]

Can any help me install this Linux Kernel? I know you have, to have AS or OS using level 9 patch. Is there a video how to install? I want to know if this work on CFW 3.55 and where do you put the "linux-2.6-5c61cdc.tar" on what part of the PS3 if you have to use FTP? Do you unzip it? There one folder with a lot of file in it and 1 other one. It is really confusion to install or where to put it in the PS3. Do you also need a Linux that is already install like (debian, ubuntu, khaos etc.)?

Yea i too would like some more info on this. We dont need a video but just someone to explain it a bit better.

Maybe if someone here thats really good with linux could compile it and upload with some instructions that would be ideal. I would do it myself but im shit with linux.

It seems that there is alot of poking around we can do with this into gameos so i would like to check it out and im sure some other ppl here would to.

It needs to be compiled before you can use it.

ok where do you find that or how would you do that?

+1 please. A noob tute would be very much appreciated. I have installed Linux before, and have even compiled stuff but never something so big!

This kernel will not work with Asbestos Loader. It doesn't seem to have marcan's Asbestos patches. git.marcansoft.com Git - ps3-linux.git/summary

These 2 patches are needed and in this order.

[PS3] Get lv1 high memory region from devtree ( patch1 )
[PS3] Add region 1 memory early ( patch2 )


Your not really going to gain much from running Graf's kernel, its just a few drivers for more experienced hackers. Its not much use at the moment.

Now, if you really want to have it check it out from git.

Get the patches from Marcan's git.

cd to the linux-2.6 dir.
patch -p1 < ../patch1
patch -p1 < ../patch2

make ps3_defconfig
make vmlinux && make modules_install

Strip the kernel
powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-objcopy -S vmlinux vmlinux.striped

Now vmlinux.striped is your kernel for asbestos.

I know this is probably gibberish for most if you but I don't have time for all the little details.

Thanks for that! I will give it a try and see what happens.

I managed to compile and boot chololo's kernel as well. I get:
ps3@debian:/media$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 217632 186536 31096 0 3080 56708
-/+ buffers/cache: 126748 90884
Swap: 463864 380 463484

Two patches from Marcan's git repo were needed to get the lv1 memory. I uploaded the two debian packages. Just extract and install with

dpkg -i *.deb

then cd to /boot and

mv vmlinux-2.6.38-rc6 vmlinux
mv initrd.img-2.6.38-rc6 initrd.img

reboot and check it out.
