Looking for a bzimage file that works on my PS4 fat cuh-1004a

I tried a lot of bzimages, none of them worked on my PS4
All of them gave me the error "could not load bzimage"

7ad7lom Share a screenshot of the issue. Also, see that the filename of the kernel is strictly bzImage and nothing else. There shouldn't be any extension after that.

I can't really get a screenshot because I'm not home, but it does say this when I try to load Linux : (failed to load file: bzimage
paths checked -mnt/usb0/bzImage
-mnt/usb1/bzImage
-system/user/boot/bzImage)

The bzimage doesn't have any extensions after it's name

7ad7lom Make sure the USB drive is formatted as MBR not GPT. Check Step 1 here.

I double checked and it's set to mbr
The thing is the bzimage file that I use isn't compatible with my PS4 and I tried a lot of bzimage files still the same error
PS4 fat cuh-1004a

Have you tried using whosthatsouthbridge to find your Mobo model?

7ad7lom

noob404
I didn't really know how to do so
Maybe link me a tutorial if you have😃

I'm on 6.72, would it work on the 9.0 whosthatsouthbridge?

noob404

7ad7lom Try it.

I did and it's not working

At this point, I really would appreciate the following:-

What distro and what tutorial are you following?
Which kernels have you tried and from what source?
A short video showing what you see when you load Linux payload.

I used your latest pop os version following modded warfare tutorial
I got the bzimage to work but I installed a lot of them until I get one to work

But now after installing Linux and restarting the PS4, I got into another problem which is stuck on this saying "all tests were successful"

noob404

7ad7lom Tray another distro or Pop using my alternate method

7ad7lom

noob404
Is using specific can be better?
Like in example is using itmania distro will give less performance than other ones or is it the same performance?

noob404

7ad7lom More or less the same.

7ad7lom

noob404
Like a big difference?

7ad7lom

noob404
I have the fedora 32 from modded warfare is it outdated?

7ad7lom

noob404
Thanks for the help
It's up and running after changing the distro
But it's so slow
But it's slow I think it's because of my USB
Thanks anyways: ))))

7ad7lom

Any advice for boosting the performance would be appreciated😃
