Hello ,
I have been working on trying to get a newer kernel and Ubuntu version running on the PS3 within otherOS on a PS3 slim. I managed to find a git repository made by Geoff that is still being updated as of a few days ago. That can be found here - https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/...eoff/ps3-linux<https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geoff/ps3-linux>. I was able to compile it, but when I try to boot from within petitboot using this command:
pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geoff/ps3-linux - Git at Google<https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geoff/ps3-linux>
kernel.googlesource.com
Mirrored from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geoff/ps3-linux.git
Code:
kexec -l vmlinux --initrd=initrd.gz
I am greeted with -
Code:
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
purgatory is diabled
I am using the following commands
I am a noob when it comes to kernel development and have no idea what I need to do get fix this. If anyone can help me that would be greatly appreciated!
I have tried so many things, and am lost as to what I need to do. Some additional things I have tried:

Thanks!

There was a breakage in the kernel ABI, and the old petitboot
bootloader (ps3-petitboot-09.11.30) cannot boot kernels newer
than v3.15.
If you want to boot a newer kernel you would need to write
the new kernel into flash memory. If you have a fat model
with firmware 3.15 or lower, do this with with ps3-flash-util.
Since you have a slim, you'll need to ask for help in the
hacker community.
If you want to try a new kernel I recommend you start with the
latest petitboot-dev branch (currently petitboot-dev-v4.13) from
my ps3-linux repo:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geoff/ps3-linux.git
Use the ps3_petitboot_nfs_defconfig as a start.
I've been working on an updated petitboot, but that will only work
with fat models with firmware 3.15 or lower.
