It will take some time to modify my patches. Thanks go to some idiot who decided to rename

lv1_get_repository_node

lv1_read_repositiry_node

Instead of really fixing bugs like SPU or adding new features like support for multiple storage regions, SONY and IBMs suckers decided to rename it. Great.

I have been getting this a lot since changing to this kernel.

I downloaded your pre-compiled one.

Is it something my end or bug somewhere.

Other than that (Ithink it crashed me this morning) the PS3 had been rock solid.

this appens because you are using the ps3vram device in some manner, (mainly as swap) and kernel is patched to mainly use better fb access using the same memory you are using with the ps3vram module
it's not a bug, search forum, glevand has already explained this better.
simply do not use the ps3vram device.

masterzorag is right, either do not use my fb-use-fifo patch (which is enabled in all my precompiled kernels by default) or do not use ps3vram kernel module.

Thanks for the explanation.

I have disabled all swap with /dev/ps3vram and will see how it goes ad removed ps3vram module, so I will see how it goes.

initramfs is not a need until you try to boot FC12, I suspect due some udev stuff.
I need to rebuild my initramfs too every time I change/test a new kernel version on FC12.
how? posting on FC12 thread...

~~To get this straight, initramfs/initrd/initialwhateveryoucallit is not required to boot FC[12]?~~
http://wiki.gitbrew.org/forum/mv/msg/104/1134/#msg_1134

I will do some research on what it is that these things provide, I thought that they were required to load an initial working linux (in RAM) that could then boot the real target kernel.

How is it that you are not using intitram, glevand?

Why should i use initrd ? I compiled everything i need while booting into my kernel, like ext3 filesyetem support. Everything else is loaded by kernel from HDD. It depends on how you configure your kernel. Why put ext3 module into initrd image if i need it all the time because i use ext3 on HDD. So, ext3 module will never be unloaded while my kernel is running. Why bother then and put it into inird image, why not just compile it into kernel itself.

Damn, updated my Arch Linux and my powerpc64 cross compiler won't work anymore because of some shared library.
Make sure you build your cross toosl with option "--disable-shared" to avoid this problem.
Else you have to build the whole toolchain again.

hmmmm, it seems i can't detect ps3dmproxy with

sudo modprobe ps3dmproxy

however, there's a device there called ps3dispmngr

i wonder if it's the same...

Hi Glevand I'm starting from scratch as i needed to add more hdd space, can i go straight to 3.3.6 or latest, I'm going to follow the debian manual version from the wiki do i just need to change the web address for the kernal thats listed there to your 3.3.6 here and extract it or shall i just stick with 2.6 to start with and dl and install it after? .... Thanks

you can go straight with linux 3, but remember that vflash was renamed from 2.6, so following wiki you have to fix the ps3vflashf simlink creation at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-ps3flash.rules to point ps3flashf instead.

Thanks! So basically i can just follow it to installing kernal then when i get to 2 i go

2, git clone --depth=1 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-s table.git

thats the 3.3.7 stable

then add

3 wget http://gitbrew.org/~glevand/ps3/linux/linux-3/config-3.3.4

or is there an easier way of doing it?..Then just carry on as normal till

- Creating /dev/ps3flash device (needed for ps3-utils)

File /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-ps3flash.rules
----------------------------------------------------

KERNEL=="ps3vflashf", SYMLINK+="ps3flash"

and just change to SYMLINK+="ps3flashf"

its been a while since i played around with ps3 n linux and not the best at it either Smile
