Google for ps4gentoo ps4-linux-5.3.7 should give you the repo, cant post link cause new user.
Also has anyone tried having the ps4 on just idling in the background while the monitor/tv is off?
After a few minutes theres no connection. SSH also tells me that theres no display connected from xrandr. Only way for the display to reconnect is by switching tty's, not even replugging the hdmi cable helps.
No clue if the issue comes from the patched amd drivers or if its the kernel which could be the issue.
Using 5.3.18-ITmania.
Argh. The TV I'm using is an oldy limited RGB and there's no option to switch linux to do limited RGB. (on a full rgb monitor everything is fine)
Anyone has any idea, I checked those xandr things and nothing worked for Fedora 32 with 4.14/4.2/5.3 kernels.

Does anyone successfully installed Linux on Slim? 2016A? I've booted default 2gb payload (with bzImage size: 6 603 824 bytes), installed everything but after that when i try to boot desktop (via exec start-psxitarch.sh) it stays black forever with led blinking on usb hdd.
This one:

But as i said - after initial setup in cli - i have black screen.
CUH-7215b model here.
So, using the dirty kernel+baikal patch, I can boot into and install the ITmania Catjaro build.
No Bluetooth, Wifi, or ethernet.
So I've been doing obsessive research.
It looks like 7215b's use the AW-CB319, which is I'm assuming, the combined BT/Wifi module.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong:
According to the PS4 Devwiki, that's a MediaTek MT7667BSN.
From what I'm reading, the MT76 driver set started getting included in kernel 5.4
I managed to find a similar MT7668 driver for another Mediatek chip, that seems to have some generic drivers for the family, after some heavy digging, but have no idea how to compile it on Manjaro, seeing as I have no connectivity to pull Linux headers to even start. Don't even know if it'll work; worth a shot though.
Optionally, I know there's an uncompiled 5.4.2 PS4 Gentoo kernel on the github, but it's for belizes and thus doesn't have the baikal patches - but, might be able to kick our modules on if the MT76 driver family's baked into it.
Speculation, but may be worth looking into. Especially since the AW-CB319 is also used in some Slims.

This doesn't help anything at all if the wlan module isn't even coming on. It's a hardware detection / driver issue, not a "connection won't stay on" issue.
I got my hopes up there for a moment, until I noticed your model number was 5b and not 6b. Ive sadly got a ps4 pro with no Wifi/BT/Ethernet.
Also noticing you mentioned compiling a driver? I'm actually in need of assistance on that same thing. I ended up buying a USB network adapter from Amazon the other day, hoping it would solve my network issues. Sadly, the drivers on the installation cd are not compiled. And being on gentoo I'm encountering errors when trying to compile the driver.
To further compound the issue, I can't get a straight answer from anyone, on why there's not a compiled, working kernel (wifi/bt/ether) for a CUH 7216b model Pro.
I believe I only need assiatance compiling this driver and eliminating the bugs along the way, and I'll have internet access on gentoo. (it's the only one ive had real success running on 9.00)
Honestly; I'm flying blind here, and i'm hoping for a miricle.

you could try loading the distro on your pc by switching root from a liveusb, then install the drivers that way
i know that you can do it on arch with arch-chroot, idk about gentoo, so you could try with psxitarch or just regular archlinux, which also works on ps4
So, you and I are both in the same boat. 5b and 6b are using the same AW-CB319.
It's a very obscure Mediatek driver we need to get our hands on to get the Wlan and BT module working.
Luckily, hope may be on the horizon. Nazky, the dev who wrote the new payloads, mentioned something in his github answering an issue about the 7215b and 6b Pros, about a new kernel that may fix some things, coming soon.
I have managed to succesfully install and run Linux on my Slim 2016A
Using Fedora from MODDED WARFARE tutorial:
And this bzImage with Initramfs:
https://www53.zippyshare.com/v/QLZZhnoo/file.html
I've had to reconnect HDMI few times, first right after booting Linux payload to see command line setup, second after installation to see login screen.
I was able to use YouTuber Echo Stretch's video as a guide to install Modded Warfare's distro on CUH-2215B. Currently I'm not able to connect to WiFi. He's got a GitHub linked on the description that's very helpful. If I figure that out, I'll edit the comment.
Ok, so, I got tired of waiting for a new kernel and spent the last 6 days learning how to compile one for baikal PS4 Pro's.
Got USB dongle support working - which is a start.
Need 5 posts to be able to post links. Will post in a few.
Should work for 7215B, 7216B any anything else that uses a Baikal chip.
