[Cbe-oss-dev] PS3 kernel 2.6.26 Download?

[thegame4121982 at msn.com]

    Hi the kernel that is in the latest PS3 Linux distro kit is v2.6.25. 
Geoff has some patches for kernel 2.6.26 on his space on kernel.org but I am 
not sure on how to apply the patches to bring the kernel up to v2.6.26. I 
tried to build my own v2.6.26 kernel once I believe but it did not work as 
my system did not boot after I installed it and updated my /etc/kboot.conf 
file to reflect the new kernel. I was tinkering with the kernel settings 
before I compiled it so maybe I messed up some setting in the process. Maybe 
Geoff could answer the question of whether or now the 2.6.26 works on he PS3 
yet or not. He could also be working on a PS3 Linux distro that has the 
2.6.26 kernel but I am not sure of that.
