As wiki.pdaxrom.org/downloads is currentlt not working, I tried to make the mame iso myself. But the compile process stops when building SDL: Ouasse: you just need to copy swab.h from the linux kernel source tree to the appropiate include dir on the toolchain, specifically: user@compile:~/p...

For sure (the link was provided by jimparis two posts above), here it is. A direct link to the latest version: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/ps3-petitboot/otheros.bld . Keep in mind that this is petitboot without sixaxis support, so you need a USB keyboard in order to boot...

Thanks for the information Jimparis! Indeed, with the patched petitboot I'm able to boot from from USB without the need of an "Otheros" partition on the main HD on a CECHK PS3. On the other hand I learned quite a bit from browsing through the sources, so all is good! :-) Sashz , please, ta...

I've tried to boot both with supplied bootloader and with petitloader, using kexec to launch the kernel on the usb drive. But no luck. In both cases I just got a fronzen PS3. The supplied kernel does not even show the tux logos nor any other messages on launch. Could I help somehow to debug the prob...
