Online Update
You can upgrade the Red Ribbon installation from the online official repository, you don’t need to reinstall the distribution from CD.

You need to connect the PS3 to the internet, open a lxterminal and download the file:
wget http://redribbon.sourceforge.net/downloads/online-update-2011-09-01.sh
Then, you can execute it:
sudo sh online-update-2011-09-01.sh
And wait until finished.

Do you want to abort removal now?
You must answer NO.

The next time that you reboot the system, some new kernel options will appear on Petitboot. You must select the new 3.6.7 option for OtherOS or Asbestos.
Once you have booted using the new kernel version, if you want to remove the old 3.5.2 kernel versions, you can do it using the Synaptic package manager or executing the next command on a lxterminal:
apt-get remove linux-image-3.5.2-red-ribbon-powerpc64-asbestos linux-image-3.5.2-red-ribbon-powerpc64-otheros linux-headers-3.5.2-red-ribbon-powerpc64-asbestos linux-headers-3.5.2-red-ribbon-powerpc64-otheros
