It was somewhat difficult to find a working solution since most links (on psdevwiki for instance) seem to be broken. I am using the petitboot (dtbImage.ps3.bin.minimal) image from psdevwiki. For firmware I could not find all required packages, so I am using alternative (version 4.70) firmware with otheros support instead. This seems to boot with the red ribbon dvd, but perhaps it is not compatible with the latest kernel?</div><div><br></div><div>Rick</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2015-07-28 20:43 GMT+02:00 Geoff Levand <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:geoff@infradead.org" target="_blank">geoff@infradead.org</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi Rick,<br>

I am currently running red ribbon linux on a fat (nand) ps3, installed on a usb drive. It has a 3.12 kernel with patches (but I cannot find the source of this kernel with pathes anywhere?).<br>

</span>You can strip that to about 7.5 MiB:<br>
<br>
strip -s -R .comment vmlinux -o vmlinux.strip<br>
<br>
ps3_defconfig needs no initrd. What is your kboot.conf?<br>
