Unfortunately, there was a kernel ABI breakage that made the current PS3 petitboot bootloader (kexec) unable to boot kernels newer than v3.16-rc1. Here's the commit: commit e6a6928c3ea1d0195ed75a091e345696b916c09b (v3.16-rc1) Author: Rob Herring <r...@kernel.org> Date: Wed Apr 2 15:10:14 2014 -0500 of/fdt: Convert FDT functions to use libfdt I've been working on an updated bootloader, but it is not ready yet. If you would like to help with it, let me know. -Geoff
