| Post subject: | System Rescue CD |
So, for my first trick I thought I'd try to create a customized System Rescue CD (http://sysresccd.org/). I've failed, so far, but here's what I've done. Downloaded the PPC version. Followed the "How to make a customized kernel" instructions. Found that the PS3 doesn't really behave like a PPC in regards to the sysresccd, since there is no yaboot.conf or special Power boot partition. I've never looked at power architecture before, so I may just be ignorant here. Downloaded the x86 version. Followed the "How to make a customized kernel" instructions. This went okay, except the part where I needed to cat imagefs through create_compressed_fs, so I ran that part on an x86 vmware image I have and made my ISO. Where I am now: I have this "hybrid" sysresccd that I can't seem to figure out how to make kboot use. Are there any kboot gurus around? |

sorry, this just cannot work. now you have x86 microcode on the cd. this cannot run on a PowerPC cpu like the Cell in the PS3.Where I am now: I have this "hybrid" sysresccd that I can't seem to figure out how to make kboot use. Are there any kboot gurus around? sorry, for being less helpfull than you would expect :roll: |

I thought that if I was able to recompile the PS3 kernel and 'make zImage' that I could just build the ISO with that and somehow configure kboot to use /dev/cdrom/boot/vmlinuz1, etc. Are you saying that running the imagefs through cat on x86 is going to be the issue? |
