• The Hardy Heron release for the PS3 will probably be contained on the same CD image as the powerpc version.

Currently Hardy Heron installation CDs are broken (as of March 19, 2008).

Here is what is known:

• There is no longer a 'cell' kernel, it has been merged into powerpc64-smp (Launchpad Bug #194971∞). This breaks upgrades until a proper linux-image-cell meta-package is created.
• The otheros.bld on the CD isn't capable of loading the powerpc64-smp kernel. Some people have had success using the petitboot otheros.bld (Launchpad Bug #197728∞).
• Generating locales can take around 17 minutes per language (Launchpad Bug #197728∞).

Please keep this page updated if there are updates to this situation. Also check the following site for an existing bug report if you run into any problems: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ps3-port∞
