As many I struggled to get my PS4pro CUH-7215B to work with any distro of linux out there on 6.72.
Here I will link the Kernel(s) that worked for me and you can then test them for your ps4 versions if the classic kernels listed bellow don't work (Crash/blackscreen...)
[Please share kernels and distros you find, I'll add them to this post. Thanks]
*First: Distros I found:
The one I use now and the best edition for now: (easy install of apps, vulkan ...)
- Catjaro PS4Linux. Manjaro 20.0.2 (Lysia):
Guide
Change Language to English
sudo nano /etc/local.conf then remove all text beside LANG=en_US.UTF-8 then ctrl+o enter ctrl-x and reboot
Fix update error with lib32-mesa-git
sudo echo -e "\n[ps4]\nSigLevel = Never\nServer = https://psxita.it/repo-testing" >> /etc/pacman.conf
then
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S mesa-git lib32-libdrm-git lib32-mesa-git libdrm-git xf86-video-amdgpu-git
then
sudo pacman -Syu
yes to all and reboot

Installation is similar to psxitarch. Remember to rename the archive to psxitarch.tar.xz
[Install app stores: (don't use included app updater/installer its buggy and you might remove the recent driver patches)
- in terminal:
1/ flatpak
type sudo pacman -Sy flatpak
2/ appstore pages are here:
flatpak
just copy the install code bellow each app you want and run it in terminal ]

- PS4gentoo
Guide
Download
*Second: Webhosts to start the linux distro
- I use AlAzif DNS host to load sucessfuly my Baikal distro on 6.72
And
- Leeful Hen or 672v5
[!Remember only choose jailbreak then linux. No mira or Hen preload!]
*Third: Kernels out there: (replace bzimage on the first fat32 partition of 200mb on the usb HDD/USBstick)
- ps4-sources 5.3.7 + Bikal patches by iguy0
Download
- kernel 5.3.18-ITmania
Download
*Fourth: Tested working kernel(s) for my PS4pro on 6.72 I [ found/was offered to test ]:
(replace bzimage on the first fat32 partition of 200mb on the usb HDD/USBstick)
- Kernel 5.3.7 Gentoo gc41cdf12d-dirty shared by and thanks to @ThePro1991 on Reddit
Download
[For now my PS4 Gentoo MOD Linux works on 6.72 but without wifi and Bluetooth but LAN works]
I will post results with other distros as soon as I test some other distros
Thanks again to everyone making this possible on new PS4 pros on 6.72
Cheers
[Please share kernels and distros you find, I'll add them to this post. Thanks]
PS: for those who want my linux fat32 content is here
of course on ps4pro before runing linux resolution is set to 1080p, limited rgb, no supersampling and in system no hdcp no hdmi device link.
