PS3 Looking for petitboot loader backup

[Houvenmaker]

Hello, I am looking for petitboot loader backup (otheros.bld) The one from jk.ozlabs blog is corrupted, the other one from brewology works but freezes while i want to switch to other os (both in Ui and Red Ribon Linux shut down menu).

Thanks

You can cross compile a otheros.bld image with the ps3_petitboot_defconfig from geoffs kernel:

https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geoff/ps3-linux/+/refs/heads/master

I used the ppc64-gcc that ubuntu/debian provides:

Ubuntu:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gcc-powerpc64-linux-gnu

Debian:
https://packages.debian.org/unstable/gcc-powerpc64-linux-gnu

Also there is some old versions of petitboot here:

Or here:

It is not corrupted, it exceed Your VFLASH sub-partition or eFlash partition. So cannot be installed and that's why You getting error. You need something which can be fit in 4MiB (a few KiB little less due to the header). Or recreate partitions (so-called regions) and sub-partitions to make it larger. Eventually compress otheros bootloader by gzip if it is not already compressed. Read whole thread: https://www.psx-place.com/threads/bootloaders-doesnt-see-usb-and-dvd.39650/

Petitboot works fine only on NANDs. On NORs is crippled (eg. will freeze if You try going back to GameOS) etc.
