Script: Auto Build And Package Graf’s Latest Kernel For Debian/bootOS

User has released a useful script to make your life easier when getting some graf_chokolo’s PS3 Linux kernel update by just using your console. The script works by grabbing the updates directly from the git which means that it will..sucking up my poor server’s bandwidth. Quoted from user’s post.

after running this script you should have two deb packages containing binaries of graf’s latest kernel. i’ve tested it on debian (bootos 2.01), ubuntu may work as well.

install:

dpkg -i linux*.deb

cd /boot
ls -l

mv vmlinux-2.6.38-rc6-graf-XXXXXXX vmlinux
mv initrd.img-2.6.38-rc6-XXXXXXX initrd.img

reboot and check it out.
