Hey guys

I'm hoping someone can point me to a mirror of a recent Linux 2.6 kernel for the PS3? or even an efficient way to get the files off of foxbrew.org?

gitbrew has been down for days. The only active mirror I can find is foxbrew.org (which isn't working with "git clone" and I really don't have the time/patience to download each file individually via the web server).

http://gitbrew.org/~glevand/ps3/linux/ (isn't down for me ...)

There is the latest kernel (ps3linux_kernel_latest.tar.gz) available

Don't ask me about the 2 rsx files added today... No idea what they are for and no time to investigate them....

Thanks OoZic, I missed that link in my searches. its the git that is down... keep getting that damn nyan cat!

Just finished downloading. I'm new to linux so was using the Nikitis PS3-Debian-Installer script which crashed at the git clone linux-2.6 step. Figure I just need to install the kernel to finish off installation, but have no idea how to do that with a compiled kernel yet.

Still learning rapidly but must say I'm getting hooked to linux already!

Why not use Red Ribbon RC5?
http://www.ps3hax.net/2011/09/red-ri...x-rc5-for-ps3/
http://sourceforge.net/userapps/medi...itle=Main_Page

It is fast, small, specially made (including graf his kernel) for the ps3 and can be updated through the internet. I think it is the best distro for beginners, also because it works almost the same as Ubuntu....

I'll give Red Ribbon a try if Debian becomes a problem. Debian is booting now and is running a basic Asterisk PBX setup
To install precompiled kernel, it was needed to extract the kernel into the root folder and edit /etc/kboot.conf to point to /boot/vmlinux-2.6-x.

Oh well, at least you know what you are doing Most beginning users don't even know how to extract the kernel or edit the kboot.conf and are to lazy to search the net
