</div>That sounds like this one, which I believe landed in 3.10:<br>

</blockquote></div><br><div class="gmail_extra">That's great. But I don't see any option to
install a 3.10 kernel from my wheezy install. And as I said, I haven't
been able to get any recent kernels that I compiled myself to run. I
think that the problem is that I'm running 3.55 firmware with Debian
running under OtherOS++ and there's no support in the kernels for this.
Is that right? I also tried applying all the patches in Geoff's
directory to the stock kernels, but that doesn't work either.<br>
</div><div class="gmail_extra">Now I'm stuck...<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I'm
considering just wiping everything and starting again by using the 3.55
"QA Flag CFW with SS patches" to ... "downgrade [my] ps3 from 3.55 to
lower [3.15, I believe] firmwares" (according to <a href="http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/OtherOS%2B%2B" target="_blank">the ps3devwiki instructions</a>)
then doing a regular OtherOS install of wheezy in the original Sony
3.15 firmware. That's a lot of hassle, though, so if I could find
instructions for building a 3.10 kernel under OtherOS++ that would be a
much better option for me. Could anyone help me out with that? Or is
downgrading the better option?<br>
</div><div class="gmail_extra">Also, on a somewhat related note, I see
that libspe was dropped from Debian a while back. What are our options
for getting that back? I have several versions of the source lying
around, but I'm wondering which one I should build? I'm assuming that
the most recent one is best, but I think it was dropped from Debian
because of some errors with it?<br>
</div><div class="gmail_extra">Once again, I'd really appreciate some
help/advice on this. I've been trying for ages to get all these problems
sorted, but without success. Seeing that wheezy still works and that
the spufs problem has been fixed is getting my hopes up that I can
finally get everything back working again like I had it before Sony
messed everything up.<br>
