I have released a new bootloader v0.22 capbable of running on 2.0+ firmware and slim PSP (in theory). Besides a few bug fixing, the major change in this version is employing a safer way of running code in the kernel mode avoiding the risk of overwriting the in-used code during RAM transfer. It has been tested on 3.71 m33-4 on my psp (I just upgraded it last night to get the closest testing environment to slim) and has not yet been tested on slim. But theoretically it should work just the same. Can anybody help to test it?

The prebuilt package can be downloaded here: http://myfreefilehosting.com/f/960525c96b_0.09MB

Download the kernel image and pspboot.conf here:

(Kernel-0.20 pre-built )

Make sure not to overwrite the v.22 EBOOT.PBP with the one in the Kernel-0.20 pre-built package.

Hey, just reg'd here to try to get in on this project. I am working on porting Gentoo Linux to the PSP. I have a PSP Slim running 5.00M33-6 and your bootloader and uclinux work great on it. I have a 1GB card that I have dedicated to use with this experiment, and have an approx 300MB stage 2 of Gentoo on the root of the memory card. I am able to execute binaries via /ms0/bin/[bin] with much success.

I have been working with Linux for about 8 years now, and I am experienced with building distros, hacking kernel modules and scripting, etc.

Please let me know how I can help, if you are looking for help. :-)

Here is what I would like to accomplish:
root on mem-stick
Basic GUI based on IceWM or Blackbox
Widget-based interface

~Cheers~ c[-]

You won't get a normal kernel running as that requires a CPU with an MMU. That's why the linux ported is uclinux - uclinux is specially modified to not require an MMU.
