Script: auto build and package graf's latest kernel for debian/bootos

[cookie42]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but yeah afaik it should be fine, the point of having source instead of pre-compiled versions hosted is so it can be compiled on pretty much any linux distro.
You may have to install different dependencies, or use different commands to compile it, but it should be similar.
Just be prepared for it to take like 6 hours compiling it on the ps3 itself. It took about this long for me before I used a custom kernel that used all of the ps3s ram. After I used a kernel with full ram access it probably took about 3-4 hours each time.

Although I'm not sure where the kboot.conf will be for you, for bootos it's on the root of the ps3 drive and the linux partition. It shouldn't be hard for you to find.

Sorry for not reponding earlier , been a busy time for me. I am glad that you got the kernel up and running. the one on the root of the linux partition is the one that will allow you to boot different versions of the kernel such as Graf's kernel or the standard debian kernel.

here is my kboot.conf on the linux partition

Graf.kernel.latest=/boot/vmlinux initrd=/boot/initrd.img root=UUID=2d7994a5-530e-4df3-9dab-b794d298a94f
Graf.kernel.old=/boot/vmlinux.graf2 initrd=/boot/initrd.img.graf2 root=UUID=2d7994a5-530e-4df3-9dab-b794d298a94f
debian.safe=/boot/vmlinux.safe initrd=/boot/initrd.safe root=UUID=2d7994a5-530e-4df3-9dab-b794d298a94f

initrd.img , vmlinux are both syslinks to the latest kernel

I don't suppose you could upload yours? Or could you upload yours user?

Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!

Lol, thanks. I've actually recompiled mine a couple of times since that post because I kept forgetting certain things, but I'll try yours later. I need to get around to compiling it with all the dependencies I need instead of the ones I need at that particular moment.
Maybe add it to the first post for anyone else having problems?
Again, thanks for the script and the kernel.

Anyone know if the patches from marcan's git are still needed?
I'm curious why graf hasn't added them if they are.

we need them to boot the kernel using bootos. if you're using petitboot, you don't need them.

Well that was actually a suggestion for barnhilltrckn, he could also ssh in as root and edit like that.
So, I'm wondering, how long is the kernal supposed to compile? I started it, but after a couple hours, stopped it since my ps3 had been on for too long. Would it be a better idea to cross compile, instead of trying it on the ps3?

To cross build I use crosstool-ng-1.10.0 ,
add environment variables

path ="path to x-tools" powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin
CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-
ARCH=powerpc


To configure crosstool I used the samples/powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu/crosstool.config

Had to create the initrd.img on the ps3.
Less than 15 minute build time .

I have followed the tutorial by pshomebrew to get Ubuntu running on my PS3 using asbestos 1.5 ( old i know )
Can i install graf's kernel on it ? The script on the first page is outdated because git.dukio is down . Can anyone update it ?

[cookie42]

Replace the dukio git url with this

http://git.gitbrew.org/ps3/?p=ps3linux/linux-2.6.git\;a=snapshot\;h=HEAD\;sf=tgz
