Don't work Linux loader (but work other payload)

[ghost]

Hi
It looks like your Linux loader is not working: the system cannot be installed, the system cannot be started after installation.
But Linux loader by mircoho works without problems - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Cer77Gr1fr-EetB9UQXwvxw7iHTv1BYH/view (I tried only PS4-Linux-Loader_normalEDID.bin)
What exactly is the problem I did not understand (not enough knowledge).
P.S I have not found anyone who host online this payload.

How exactly does it fail? Black screen? Have console but cannot type? Crash? Shutdown?

Sorry, really small information. Console PS4 Slim CUH-2008A.
In the archive that I dropped, it seems that the second payload is yours (the behavior seems to be the same).
I'm using kernel 4.14.93 (only this kernel works for me).
Well, a straightforward example:
With your bootloader, kernel modules are not loaded, not mount file system, something like that... (in fact, the system cannot start at all).
With the mircoho loader, the kernel modules are loaded - in fact, the system starts and runs normally (Fedora 32 from ITmania).

P.S It seems that you just made a mistake somewhere.

I found out what the problem is:
Your Linux loader has 3GB VRAM, this can make Linux installation difficult (but I was able to get Linux running with your Linux loader and thus found out that it allocates 3GB VRAM).
Can you tag it as a Linux loader with 3GB VRAM and add a Linux loader with 1GB VRAM (to which I gave the link)?

P.S Original source of link - https://twitter.com/Cedsaill2/status/1341594906381475845
P.P.S In archive:
PS4-Linux-Loader.bin - 3GB VRAM
PS4-Linux-Loader_normalEDID.bin - 1GB VRAM

OK, will add split payloads.

awesome, thanks.

JB+LINUX (VRAM 1GB) - 3GB VRAM

So, don't works.

@justguyongithub how do you start linux on ps4 slim? I could not

@justguyongithub how do you start linux on ps4 slim? I could not

Just try to install Linux following this instruction - https://www.psxita.it/psxitarch-linux-v2/
If you are using another Linux, then do not forget to rename it to psxitarch.tar.xz
And use Linux loader with 1GB VRAM (due to 3GB VRAM, the system may not install).
Linux loader with 1GB VRAM (in archive this PS4-Linux-Loader_normalEDID.bin) - https://twitter.com/Cedsaill2/status/1341594906381475845 (or just wait, when sleirsgoevy add it to your host).

I tried but ps4 get stuck. Thank you. I will wait for more stable.

dmesg says that it found 1GB VRAM for the 1GB link and 3GB VRAM for the 3GB link.

dmesg says that it found 1GB VRAM for the 1GB link and 3GB VRAM for the 3GB link.

Yes:
[ 1.866576] [drm] amdgpu: 1024M of VRAM memory ready
But in fact 3GB (this says system monitor, system info...) and, of course, for RAM 4.9GB.
On host hakkuraifu all work correctly.

P.S System periodically does not start (this is probably due to a webkit exploit, I don't know...)

Try linux loader on host hakkuraifu (1GB VRAM).

sleirsgoevy, any idea about as enable Full RGB on Linux? In xrandr --verbose there are no functions to toggle this parameter. File EDID just empty. Strange, that this feature has not yet been implemented.

[ghost]

sleirsgoevy, so, you fix this problem or not? Only on host hakkuraifu 1GB VRAM work correctly (and, of course, manual dispatch payload PS4-Linux-Loader_normalEDID.bin for 1GB VRAM).

P.S. Happy New Year.
