[Cbe-oss-dev] Bug#514055: debian still not working on PS3

[Norberto Feliberty]

Also the network configuration fails if you try to configure it using the wireless interface.   I also tested the build from 04-30-09 and like yourself I too ran into the problem with the installer not knowing which kerenl to install even though at the beginning of the installer when it was retrieving components, it was retrieving  the 2.6.29 powerpc64 kernel. I though I ran into this issue because i opted to use the netinstall from 04-30 instead of the mini.iso from 04-27 but now I am not so sure.
