I've ran into two big problems for me while trying to run Cell code on the PS3. I have installed Fedora 7 on two PS3's. Our first one we have had no problems I have yet to update it since Fedora 7 first came out but there have been no problems. More recently we got a second PS3 which I took home to setup over the summer. I updated to the latest packages before I left and installed the Cell SDK. Whenever I try to run any Cell code on the new PS3 it just locks up. I am accessing it via ssh because of HDCP but as soon as I run the Cell code I can't even ping it and my ssh session drops. Why would it be doing this? The second problem I have is that I have read in various docs that I should be able to run SPU programs(spulets) directly from the command line by doing ./spulet but when I do that I just receive "cannot execute binary file" how can I execute spulets?

Thanks,

Lee

I was able to figure out both issues. First kernel 2.6.22.1-41 on Fedora 7 was causing the cell freezing issues. As for the spulets it seems that the cellsdk script found on the IBM Cell Disc does not install elfspe2. After I installed it it worked fine.
