• NAND can kexec -l huge_elfs, to load some stuff if needed.

Can't flash but can load, we can store an elf on HDD and maybe add an entry to kboot.conf

Paralel compilation

Don't know if it is just me but any attempt to build openwrt's latest trunk using multiple jobs fails...

Yup! Firstly it stops on parted-3.0 (cause it has some libuuid dependencies). But when you do "make package/util-linux/compile; make package/util-linux/install" it stops on compiling ps3strgmngr.

• Order is a key factor compiling petitboot, make sure to use -j1: this also keep filtering for error messages easier to follow.
  
• Official howto just tell enough about ps3strgmngr and fix.

Keep getting:

"make[3]: *** No rule to make target `package/preconfig'.  Stop.
 make[2]: [package/rootfs-prepare] Error 2 (ignored)" 

during buildtime. Is there any solution to this?

Flashed dtbImage.ps3.bin after build completion. Petitboot boots upto selection screen, but it doesn't react neither to my keyboard nor to gamepad keypressing. Pressing power button gives normal reboot.

• use telnet to remotely control petitboot:

remote_pc# telnet 192.168.1.2

• recheck/reconfigure/rebuild petitboot and test the image.elf prior to flashing the bin one:

# kexec -l image.elf
# kexec -e

Using current version of petitboot-huge, downloaded from http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/PS3_OpenWRT, "kexec -l /root/openwrt-ps3-petitboot-vmlinux.elf" gives:

Warning: append= option is not passed. Using the first kernel root partition Modified cmdline: Unable to find /proc/device-tree//chosen/linux,stdout-path, printing from purgat ory is diabled segment[0].mem:0x1143000 memsz:19243008 segment[1].mem:0x239d000 memsz:36864 segment[2].mem:0x7fff000 memsz:4096

After "kexec -e" ps3 freezes and does nothing.
