Getting 2.1 running.

[unsolo]

I fetched the latest ps3-sources.git
did a make ps3_defconfig
Added in the neccesary default boot options so that the kernel can boot stand alone.
did a make && make modules_install
then
ps3-flash-util -g -w ps3-linux/arx/powerpc/boot/otheros.bld
reboot
upgrade to 2.1 firmware
boot otheros and im back in buisness. :)

fixed the double buffering which is now gone in mplayer -vo ps3 and tested that the Xv driver still works from spu-medialib..

No problems..

could you explain a bit more about this ?

My ps3 is currently stuck with a black screen at boot (the power LED is flashing red, never seen this before)

In fact I would really appreciate if someone posted a complete linux kernel installation procedure, from downloading or updating sources from git repository to vmlinux/otheros.bld binary files, with all the necessary build and installation commands. A debian/ubuntu specific procedure using the make-kpkg command would also be appreciated.

This would make a good restarting point for everyone.

Using a make-kpkg command on my debian ps3, the resulting otheros.bld / kernel just are not bootable.

thanks in advance.
