Finally installing Debian on HDD. Patched HV and disabled access to
all HDD regions temporarily except one where Linux is installed. I didn't
thought that i will patch HV and actually remove features from there. Stay
tuned.
水喔～，mplayer不知道給不給編？竟然還有人在xorloser 的blog上面問可不可
以跑魔獸……，除非Blizzard 有出 PPC版，不然就只能用x86模擬器跑，可以預
見絕對很慢，命不長還看不到載入完成。

@segobi

But i will enable all HDD regions in HV again as soon as i patched
ps3disk on Debian. And then we need a new ps3disk driver to access all
regions simultaneously. The driver is not very good.
看來要把Debian修改到平易近人還要花點時間就是，不過最大的障礙也只有安裝
程式內附的驅動程式不支援安裝在第二個分割區就是。

Installing Debian packages currently. I think i won't need my payloads
anymore, can run now everything through SSH on my Debian PS3. Great HV
rules.
看來裝完之後進到 Linux可以做很多事，而且不用在用dongle注入payload 載入
破解程式。

Will this version of linux will be like any other PC versions of linux
?? If I understand, the speed will be incredible since we have 8
processors running at 3.2ghz or so. Again, Thx for all your work graf,
Cheers from Canada.
這個加拿大人想問說能不能把 PS3當成一台有八核心的工作站來用。

@Bobby

I'm installing just an ordinary unmodified Debian distribution,
nothing changed by me.

Just normal PPC64 distribution. The only thing i changed was my
beloved HV. But we have to modfy ps3disk device driver to get access
to all HDD regions because default Linux driver allows only one.

You could install whatever distribution of Linux you wnat which
supports PS3 arch.
Ubuntu PPC64不知道能不能裝，Debian可以裝Ubuntu應該也可以才是。

Moding the ps3 disk driver is long or what? Can we help you in any way
? Thx for helping me, much appreciated.

@Bobby

Hm, maybe we should contact the maintainer of the driver. The driver
is simple, i patched it already for petitboot so it's uses the right
HDD region for booting. But for normal Linux we need a ps3disk driver
with multiinstance capability, for several HDD regions.
graf認為說要改驅動程式之前應該跟程式的維護人打個招呼，而且也不困難，所
以由維護人出面修改可以確保穩定性，而且對大家都方便。

And here we go Linux is officially back on PS3 3.41. It's even
better now.

It has all GameOS features, it has access to all HDD, VFLASH and FLASH
regions. It can communicate with Dispatcher Manager, Update Manager,
SYSCON Manager, it can run isolated SPUs, and of course RSX.

I uploaded some screenshots of the Debian distribution i installed on
my PS3 HDD. The Debian distribution is a just normal PPC64 Linux
without any modification, all i changed was my dutifully and beloved
Hypervisor

I modified the Hypervisor so far that it boots the Linux bootloader
petitiboot from VFLASH and petitboot loads the Linux distribution
installed on a HDD region.

And what is better than Linux to boot Linux?
I practically implemented Dual Boot feature GameOS+OtherOS in the
Hypervisor. Linux is not the only OS which can be booted like this
from PS3 HDD.

Now we don't need GameOS anymore to run our code, no need anymore for
SELFs and we can start now programming our own games on PS3 on Linux.

I will make everything public.

And greetings to SONY. Hand me over the maintance and implementation
of PS3 Hypervisor I will improve it and maintain for free We all
will benefit. HV hacking is great fun

Here are some screenshots:

postimage.org/image/238506i1w/
postimage.org/image/238bmbw10/

PS: Compiling now my own Linux kernel on PS3 itself.
所以gcc 給跑嘛！

Guys, one step after another, first test and implement with 3.41 then
port to 3.55.

Be patient guys. I will test everything properly and then release. I
don't want to cause any bricks.

@fagoatse

CORE OS and GameOS firmware updates are possible now from Linux
because we have access to Dispatcher Manager and Update Manager of
Hypervisor.

Linux can do now everything what GameOS can do Linux rules.

We have lots of things to do now. E.g. implement Dispatcher Manager in
Linux because Linux has only drivers for A/V-Manager and System
Manager. And ps3 block device driver have to be improved also, because
now it allows only one HDD region to be accessed.

@Graf_chokolo

With normal Linux environment the possibilities are limitless now I
don't need anymore my payloads, will start to port them, write normal
Linux programs. ENCDEC and SYSCON are still on my list. The HV
reversing will progress now a lot faster with Linux.

New Linux driver need to be written and so on.

BTW, guys, does someone has clue how to recompile Debian netinstaller,
you will need it. Because what i did to make it run was pure hack, not
for developers i fear. We need to recompile it with new ps3disk driver.

******

看來大概一兩個禮拜之內就有 Linux可以灌了噢耶～
