There was a breakage in the kernel ABI, and the old petitboot bootloader (ps3-petitboot-09.11.30) cannot boot kernels newer than v3.15. If you want to boot a newer kernel you would need to write the new kernel into flash memory. If you have a fat model with firmware 3.15 or lower, do this with with ps3-flash-util. Since you have a slim, you'll need to ask for help in the hacker community. If you want to try a new kernel I recommend you start with the latest petitboot-dev branch (currently petitboot-dev-v4.13) from my ps3-linux repo: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geoff/ps3-linux.git Use the ps3_petitboot_nfs_defconfig as a start. I've been working on an updated petitboot, but that will only work with fat models with firmware 3.15 or lower. -Geoff
