new AsbestOS problem

[srl]

Instead of this, what should we put in the kboot file in order to boot the ubuntu virtual filesystem that makes up linux00.img ... linux09.img

Not that theres anything wrong with debian but as the ubuntu images are turnkey I'd like to see it in action.

That's not surprising, if you visit the url its requesting the files from you'll see that his account is suspended so theres nothing to get.

Try the new BootOS release version 2.01 from here -> ps3.khore.org

It has that missing file fixed.

Where are you installing everything? If you're going to use the new installer you could try installing to a flash drive.

Make sure you have enough space on the drive to install everything! It might be stopping at 75% because the installer ran out of room to place files.

After you have everything installed, just delete the kboot.conf that's stored on the internal hdd. If you want to change your resolution you're going to have to find a way to edit the default settings for where ever the default kboot.conf file is, assuming it isn't generated at boot. It seems to run a little slow though, I don't know if the ps3's vram is being used or not.

Edit:
Okay, I found out how to get everything running a bit faster and how to edit the kboot.conf that is stored on the drive after installation.

Go here: http://www.pshomebrew.net/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_on_PS3

Scroll down to the bottom and follow the instructions for installing lxde. If you want to edit the kboot.conf just type sudeo gedit /kboot.conf and make your changes then save. I'm going to try different video modes to see if I can get full screen resolution.

/*
 286   xputs("Creating 10G file...");
 287   f = fopen("/dev_hdd0/linux.img", "w");
 288   data = malloc(1 << 20);
 289   for(i = 0; i < 10240; i++)
 290     fwrite(data, 1 << 20, 1, f);
 291   fclose(f);
 292   free(data);
 293   */

Thats why the linux image doesn't work, the new one removes the joining code. I can join the damn files locally and upload the 10gig file over ftp but would someone please post their kboot file from 1.5 so we can start using ubuntu with 2.0 again. Thx

If you think that's bad, how about accidentally screwing up the kboot.conf after having everything working fine.
