I saw a thread in the archives where Peter Flodin has created a page to get openSUSE running on the PS3. I a PS3 myself, and was curious to know if any progress has been made. If it's just a matter of testing something, I'd be more than happy to do so.

All you need is a kernel with all required drivers compiled in, then pick CD1/suseboot/initrd.gz and boot into the installer. Perhaps with the cmdline options 'start_shell' to poke around. Run 'inst_setup_ssh -n blah' to start a sshd and setup the root password, dont forget to run 'dhcpcd eth0' to configure the network. Then open a bug and attach the 'lsprop -R /proc/device-tree' and the hwinfo output. I dont know if the installer will recognized PS3 as CHRP, but it should be possible to install on a separate partition. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org

you can also check with the guys on irc at Freenod on the channel #gentoo-ppc64. they have gentoo linux on it working i believe. there is some special boot procedure iirc. On 1/4/07, Brandon Williams wrote:

So, if I'm reading this correctly, it's 2.6.19 that has the patches for the Cell processor, and openSUSE 10.2 is running 2.6.18. I'd have to build a new kernel in order to get this working with 10.2. Is that correct? Brandon On Thu, 2007-01-04 at 20:19 +0100, Peter Czanik wrote:
