PS3-Linux News
==============

NOTICE 2024.01.06:

Commit 8c5fa3b5c4df3d071dab42b04b971df370d99354 (powerpc/64: Make ELFv2 the
default for big-endian builds), merged in Linux-6.5-rc1 changes the calling ABI
in a way that is incompatible with the current code for the PS3's LV1 hypervisor
calls.

Nick Piggin made a patch set that updates the PS3's LV1 hypervisor calls to be
compatible with ELFv2.  Those patches should be merged in Linux-6.8.

As a workaround for kernels Linux-6.5 to Linux-6.7 add this line to the file
arch/powerpc/configs/ps3_defconfig:

  # CONFIG_PPC64_BIG_ENDIAN_ELF_ABI_V2 is not set

NOTICE 2021.05:

   I've mirrored the MARS source repositories and releases on kernel.org. See
   the 'MARS' section of this document (below) for details.
    
NOTICE 2018.07:

   Many NFS servers now default to NFSv4 or require NFS over TCP.  If booting
   with an NFS root and your root file system mounting now fails try the NFS 
   mount option 'tcp,v3' or 'nfsvers=3'.

     CMDLINE: "ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=${server-ip}:$[rootpath},tcp,v3
     CMDLINE: "ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=${server-ip}:$[rootpath},nfsvers=3

NEWS:

   On 30 December 2008, a group of researchers announced at the 25th Chaos
   Communication Congress how they had used MD5 collisions to create an
   intermediate certificate authority certificate that appeared to be
   legitimate when checked by its MD5 hash. The researchers used a cluster
   of Sony PlayStation 3 units at the EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland to change
   a normal SSL certificate issued by RapidSSL into a working CA certificate
   for that issuer, which could then be used to create other certificates that
   would appear to be legitimate and issued by RapidSSL.

Open Platform for PLAYSTATION3
==============================

   The Open Platform feature is not available on CECH-2000 series or later
   models of the PS3 system.

   On PS3 system models sold earlier than the CECH-2000 series models, the
   Open Platform feature will not be available if the system software is
   updated to version 3.21 or later.

PS3 OtherOS Bootloader
=======================

PS3-Linux Stable Releases
=========================

   Please use linux stable (mainline) kernels or the kernel provided by
   your distribution for general installation.  Most distributions now
   have a ps3-utils package.
