Ps3 W/ Linux On 3.4.1
« on: September 30, 2010, 09:41:00 AM »

QUOTE
As most of us know, developer marcan was working on a Linux bootloader for firmware 3.41, the only problem he had, was choosing a name, well he has settled on AsbestOS, here is the tweet where he reveals the name and a few after regarding the bootloader.

    AsbestOS (yeah, I’m calling it that) now works on the PS3 Slim (still doesn’t quite boot Linux, though)

    Next headache: catching *both* CPU threads from lv2.

    That wasn’t too bad. Threads caught.

    Wasted like an hour debugging a bootwrapper that was working perfectly, except noone documents this stuff. dtbImage.ps3 != zImage.ps3

    I bet you’ve never seen a Linux kernel say this: [ 0.000000] PS3 firmware version 3.4.1

    http://is.gd/fBv7U It’s alive! Mostly, anyway.

    Confirmed that it works (to the same extent) on the Slim too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
