Introduction
- Unfortunately, we cannot use official Debian netinstall CD with PS3 OtherOS++ because of the vanilla ps3disk HDD driver.
- We have to modify it and replace the Linux kernel on the netinstall CD with our PS3 Linux kernel.
Remastering
- Grab the official powerpc Debian netinst CD from here: http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/
mkdir netinst cd netinst losetup /dev/loop1 ./debian-6.0.5-powerpc-netinst.iso mount /dev/loop1 /mnt/iso cp -r /mnt/iso /root/netinst/ ls -l iso/install/powerpc64/ total 22636 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4414184 Sep 8 13:30 initrd.gz -r--r--r-- 1 root root 11384603 Sep 8 13:30 vmlinux -r--r--r-- 1 root root 7375128 Sep 8 13:30 vmlinuz-chrp.initrd # we have to modify initrd.gz and replace vmlinux with our PS3 Linux kernel cat iso/install/powerpc64/initrd.gz | gunzip > initrd.cpio mkdir initrd cpio -i -d -H newc --no-absolute-filenames < ../initrd.cpio rm -rf lib/modules/2.6.32-5-powerpc64 cp -r /home/glevand/linux-3.5.3-build/lib/modules/3.5.3 lib/modules/
