Kmeaw Brings AsbestOS To PS3.

[X-Killer-Ace-X]

Description:
This tool installs AsbestOS, which can be used to boot Linux kernel from lv2patcher v9. Thanks to marcan for AsbestOS, Mathieulh and graf_chokolo for default.spp trick, geohot for dev_flash mount code. Thanks to jbc for testing and KingDong for the icon You would need to set up a DHCP, TFTP and NFS servers on your LAN to make it work. Wireless connection is not supported by AsbestOS yet. Have fun.

kmeaw: i have released asbestos installer
kmeaw: however, it will need some network services configured (DHCP, TFTP and NFS) to make it work
kmeaw: see marcan42's posts for more information
kmeaw: note that asbestos requires lv2 patcher v9
kmeaw: it won't work with v8

Marcan Guide to Running Gentoo Linux on PS3l
Quote:
ubuntu-desktop% sudo apt-get install dhcp3-server tftpd-hpa nfs-kernel-server

http://marcansoft.com/transf/gentoo-...101020.tar.bz2 = rootfs
Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites! = kernel image and modules

extract rootfs into /mnt/experimental:
% sudo mkdir -p /mnt/experimental
% sudo tar -C /mnt/experimental -xvpf /path/to/gentoo-ps3-20101020.tar.bz2

then copy 2.6.36-rc7-01073-g47a9595-dirty from ps3linux.tar.gz into /mnt/experimental/lib/modules.

Set up the DHCP server. Put this in /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf:

option domain-name "example.org";
option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
ddns-update-style none;
authoritative;
log-facility local7;
subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.2.128 192.168.2.250;
}
next-server 192.168.2.1;
filename "kboot.conf";
option routers 192.168.2.1;

Set up your wired network interface (eth0) to have a static IP address "192.168.2.1".

Copy vmlinux file into /var/lib/tftpboot.

add this line to /etc/exports (requires root privs):

/mnt/experimental 192.168.0.0/16(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,anonui d=0,anongid=0)

Then everything is done. Let's start up the services:

% sudo service tftpd-hpa restart
% sudo service dhcp3-server restart
% sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart

Create a kboot.conf file in /var/lib/tftpboot with this line inside:

linux='vmlinux video=ps3fb:mode:2 root=/dev/nfs rw ip=dhcp nfsroot=192.168.2.1:/mnt/experimental panic=5'

That's all. Run Linux from lv2patcher v9 and see if it boots.

With the packages you posted do you need to do anything other then install to get them to work or is AsbestOS just a loader to load linux?

i just ran this but get it giving me the warning that the ps3 wasnt power off correctly last time when i try to boot linux, any solutions?
