Maybe you didn't use the kernel from the DVD for starting (cdrom:boot/vmlinux)?
I need to change something in the ISO?
No, you need to use the configuration from the DVD. If you changed the configuration and saved it, it may be wrong. Check if it is starting when you remove the configuration file mc0:/kloader/config.txt.
Thanks a lot for your hard work!
What's the best solution for a softmodded PS2 slim? Putting the config.txt on the memory card and burning the ISO should be the best solution, right? :)
The best method is:
Insert the DVD, close tray, connect network cable and then start kernelloader and don't press any button. Just wait until it is started. Don't use a random config.txt. You need to know what you want. You can select everything from the menu. If you want sound, you need to copy libsd.irx and sdrdrv.irx to the folder mc0:kloader/ and activate the modules in the configuration menu. You can get the files from an old game disc (start of 2002 and before) or an old PS2 ROM dump (e.g. v7). The SDR version must be 2 or 3. You can see this with a text editor.
I searched and can not find the file: mc0:/kloader/config.txt. I try plug out the memory card and start, the same thing happens. Please see this: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i8E3Kf3IIs"]YouTube - PS2 Linux Live DVD Version 2 trying to boot[/ame]
Make sure that everything is mounted, write
mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom
and then
mount /cdrom/DISC.BIN /newroot -o loop
if cdrom/newroot is missing, just write mkdir /cdrom or mkdir /newroot
I had this error too, because i modified the DVD.
if it works, try to download DVD again and burn it without modifing it
How do you do to mount the writedev on usb stick and the swapfile? I have 3 partitions on my usb stick, a fat32, a ext2 and a linux-swap. I'm a complete noob at linux, please someone help.
Your usb is probably /dev/sda
first make directories where you want to mount it
mkdir /usb
mkdir /usbext
mount FAT to /usb and ext2 to /usbext
mount /dev/sda1 /usb
mount /dev/sda2 /usbext
turn on swap
swapon /dev/sda3
@romtim: The parameter is "-o loop" and not "-l loop". The disc must be broken or you use a modchip.
@Aleff: You need to stop the auto boot of kernelloader by pressing any button or key. Then you go to the config menu and change kernel parameter. There you can add the following:
I assume the following order:Code:swapdevice=/dev/sda3 writedev=/dev/sda2
1 FAT32
2 EXT3
3 swap
If your partitions are in a different order, you need to change the numbers behind /dev/sda accordingly.
Then you go back to the file menu and save it. Now you can select "Boot current config".
