  Purpose
  #######
! This directory contains the GCC 4.3
! toolchain and the Linux 2.6 kernel
  for the Sony Playstation 2.
! The files are still in development phase.
  
! Status - Unfinished
! ###################
  The 32-Bit kernel can start a full Debian 5.0
! mipsel. Most stuff is working. CDVD is not
! working.
! The 64-Bit kernel is not usable because
! of 64/32-Bit TLB problems.
  The 32 bit kernel can execute ABI n32 ELF files,
  but some structures in syscalls are different.
! Not everything will work.
  With ABI o32 ELF files there is no problem.

  The toolchain can build the Linux kernel and
  programs for PS2 Linux. The toolchain uses
! uClibc. Static linking is recommended.
  The toolchain requires a Linux to be installed
  on the host computer. A Debian like system is
  recommended (e.g. Kubuntu).
- The files in ubuntu-toolchain are obsolete and
- should not be used.
  The files in simple-toolchain are currently
  developed.

  This is a Linux kernel for the PS2.
  To build the kernel, you need to
  have the toolchain installed and
  execute the following steps:
! cd linux-2.6.35.4-mipsel-ps2
  cp ../kernelconfig-linux-2.6.35.4-mipsel-ps2.txt .config
  make oldconfig

- Linux 2.6 Patch
- ###############
- Run the following command if you want
- to generate a patch file which include
- all changes which I made:
- cvs -z3 rdiff -u -r start -r HEAD linux/linux-2.6.35.4-mipsel-ps2 >linux-2.6.35.4-mipsel-ps2.patch

- 64-bit kernel
- #############
- 
- Don't use the 64 bit kernel. Use the 32 bit
- kernel instead. The 32 bit kernel supports
- executing 64 bit programs with MIPS ABI n32.
