it keeps saying it is rejecting offline device or something

chrisperg, please let me know if you have found a solution to this problem, I too am getting the exact same error while trying to install ydl 6.0. I do know that
"/int:eval:1:/dev/sr0:/ppc/ppc64/vmlinux-ps3: not found" refers to a file on the installation dvd & i checked my 5.0.1 install disc & these files are on there but not on the 6.0 install disc. I tried to edit the iso images using MagicISO to take the missing file from the 5.0.1 iso and put it on the 6.0 iso & created a new iso for version 6.0 with the missing files, but when i boot up kboot it gives me another error saying that the install disc is messed up.

Hi All,

I've successfully installed YDL 6 onto my PS3. The only problem I have now is getting the Wifi to work. I've read around various forums and topics and it seems like this method is tested and confirmed to work:

http://dachaac.blogspot.com/2007/08/guid...on-ps3-ydl.html

The only problem is that I'm a Linux noob and have no idea what to do after saving the wireless-tools-28-1.ppc64.rpm to my USB Flash drive. After I plug it into the PS3, how do I save it onto the desktop. Or where do I type in "rpm -Uvh wireless-tools-28-1.ppc64.rpm"?

Read some more and realized that I had to open up a Terminal and then enter my username and password. I then forced the install of wireless-tools-28-1.ppc64.rpm. Here is a picture of my screenshot after the installation:




As you can see, after the installation the terminal does not recognize the command "iwconfig eth0". Is this where I am supposed to run iwconfig eth0 or is there another place to do this?

Hello,

Here is the solution to problems I have experienced and were described previously on this forum as :

don't understand action "leasefail"
info. No Lease, Failing.
UDF-fs: No VRS Found

or

the message /init: eval: 1:/dev/sr0/:/ppc/ppc64/vnlinux-ps3: not found "
or displaying g.... continously

I thought I will share, as lot of people were asking and no answer was provided.

For impatient ones : this tutorial is kind of outdated. I experienced all those problems because I've downloaded iso ydl 6.0 from
ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/yellowdog/iso
and got the files for usb key elsewhere. What you should do is to just download the iso, and after burning it, COPY ps3 folder THAT IS ON THAT CD to your usb key. Alternatively, it is written here (http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/support/installation/ydl6.0_ps3_guide.pdf) that you do not need usb key actually - ps3 can read those files directly from the dvd (I haven't tested that though). After using that installer everything works just fine. It is also interesting that although on download site you can read that you shouldn't install linux with standard video cable, it just works - I mean, you can install it. Just browse kboot with tab and pick something like "ps3-480i" mode (can't remember exactly). I haven't tested graphical interface, just text. Works for me ! After installation you can tab in kboot 'linux'; after that, your linux boots up.

Other things concerning this topic:

- "info. No Lease, Failing" has something in common with network connection, which started to work after I have shut down console and turn it on (by keeping finger on power button). Simple rebooting did not help. After doing this I started to experience g... syndrome.

- During installation you can setup wireless and it simply works.

- As long as you will not install the system, you will see only two pinguins on reboot - this is correct. That's because what you see is simplistic linux booting program and it has nothing to do with the content of your dvd. When installed linux starts to boot you can see six small pictures representing SPE's.

Hope this helps !

Best,
Dodgero

Can someone answer asap please. I have a problem where when I put the flashdrive in it only finds the otheros.bld file and wants to install that. I clicked yes and wait until the scrolling text gets to the kboot. for kboot i type in this exactly "Anaconda" and it says it cant be found.

It seems it depends on version what you should type in. Please read my previous post (one above yours), for ydl 6.0 I picked up in kboot 'ps3-480i' or something similar, just use tab key to see possible values. In previous versions it was often 'installtext', if you wanted to use text output only, or you should just wait for 10sec.

Best,
Dodgero
