probably isn’t related to any specific kernel issue.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>I’m using Geoff’s git tree, I worship him for
maintaining this. For the last month or so, (not sure exactly which build
started this behavior), there was a change to the block devices used on the
PS3. All appears fine with the new devices (/dev/ps3da*, /dev/ps3flash),
but when using other-os-flash-util to set the boot flag on /dev/ps3flash, it
appears set but does not reboot the Game OS. After reboot, Flag still
claims to be set (according to other-os-flash-util).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I’ve check Geoff’s source for the latest ps3pf
utils, but the os-flash utilities appear basically unchanged and not useful for
>2.6.21 builds. Forgive my blatant ignorance, while being a developer,
I’ve never developed kernel drivers or the like, so I know I’m out
of my league here. I’m just curious if anyone has any info on this,
and what I might be doing wrong, such as trying to use /dev/ps3flash when it’s
not meant for this. My latest build from git is 2.6.22-rc3-g68f05783-dirty
with this issue.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

all you folk for your amazing work and dedication. It does not go
unappreciated. I wish I could do more than be some half-wit beta tester.
