    I was wondering if support for loading through ESR (rather than kloader.elf) on systems without a modchip could be added?

    ESR can't start Linux. Kernelloader can start Linux and ESR can start Kernelloader. Kernelloader doesn't work if ESR is active in the background. ESR must be deactivated after IOP reset.
    The modchip version of the PS2 Linux Live DVD can be ESR patched, then kernelloader should be started by ESR. Kernelloader can't read the ESR patched disc and you need to insert a non modchip Live DVD to continue.
    The cause is:
    Kernelloader supports the ISO file system, but not the UDF.
    ESR supports the UDF, but not the ISO file system.
    The modules for kernelloader were copied from SMS which has the same restriction.
