This forum is staffed by volunteers. Yellow Dog Linux pays for our hosting costs, but otherwise has no direct links to us. Along those lines, no one here represents Yellow Dog Linux or any of its engineering staff.
Therefore, as to whether or not YDL will support AsbestOS or not is beyond our capability to say. Yellow Dog's source code is tightly controlled by their parent company, Fixstars, although it is publically available under GPL. In addition, this forum is based in the United States, and as such, is subject to the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA), which prevents us from discussing anything that might be involved in the act of piracy or otherwise breaking copyrights.
So - where does that leave us? Basically, we can provide technical assistance with Yellow Dog Linux, and answer technical questions - i.e. how can I create a YDL IMG that might boot with a non-standard bootloader - but anything specific to custom firmware, since it violates Sony copyright, can not be discussed here, and will deleted immediately.
If you want to try loading YDL with a non-standard bootloader, and using a custom kernel, we might be able to help, bearing in mind that none of us are Yellow Dog engineers. There's a lot of Unix experience in these forums.
Personally - it will be hard for me to help with non-standard configurations too much. My PS3 is running Sony Firmware 3.15, and still has OtherOS support.
Cheers,
Paul
