that happened me too all i did was to fix it was just skipped the test and it worked fine

kk thanks for the help i will try that and see how it works out.

You can go HERE to download the .iso of YDL! The file you want is the second to last on the page, it should be called this:

yellowdog-5.0-phoenix-20061208-PS3.iso

This is a link that is on Terrasoft's website (the guys that made YDL)! Hope this also helps...

After installing YDL 5.0 you probably will want to download the new 5.0.1 update. The process involves installing a newer kernal and editing a few files...check terrasoft's website for more info. (The update was released on May 1 so it's fairly new and may not be on any public mirrors yet, but I got mine from someone who was kind enough to upload it on rapidshare.)

If you don't have an HDTV, when you get to the kboot screen, you have to type in ydltext! Then it will load to another page, and you have to follow the directions Ive given so that it will work on a non HDTV!

I'm having problems with trying to get wireless going. I've got the new kernel and updated the kboot as per instruction. i then deleted the eth0 connection and created a wireless connection. once i click activate i get 'this operation is not supported on eth0' I'm on the latest firmware 1.7 on a PAL ps3. cheers for any help

when i format partition will i lose all my wireless details that i signed into ps3 network and other user details.

Nope, you don't lose the wireless settings as far as I am aware. You don't lose your account information (it will still remember password and login info if you checked the boxes for those options previously) and you won't have to remkae all your psn accounts again. Avatars for your accounts remain intact as well. But you will lose your messages in your inbox that friends sent you after partitioning. Not the friend requests though.

Ya, don't worry about that stuff! You won't lose any of it!

ok thats good to know, so you just loose the game saves and game profiles.

Hey Dave,
I have a big problem! I have downloaded the .iso off a torrent site and burnt it to dvd and have completed everything up to installing the yellow dog linux software. I bought a bluetooth keyboard and had it installed BEFORE I started the reformat stage. It was all working fine. Then I completed the bootloader stage all as planned then when I restarted the system it came up with the bootloader with 2 penguins in the top left corner and I inserted the yellow dog .iso. Then it came up with an error: "No VRS found" after quickly being at k-boot:

I cant type anything because its now not picking up my keyboard for some reason, possibly because of the reformat....

What can I do???

PLEASE HELP!!

@carleves

Have you installed YDL already? I say this because, if you already installed it, and are inserting the YDL DVD after you already installed it, then you are having a problem! When YDL is already installed, you don't need the DVD anymore! But, if you haven't installed it yet, then I need to research it some more! I'll get back to you!

HELP PLEASE! i'm on my PS3 right now and trying to install YDL and it's asking in the window labeled "partitioning type" it is asking "which drive(s) do you want to use for this installation" and it gives you the option of choosing "[*]sda" or "[*]sde" what should i pick?

okay i've installed linux and everything goes great until i try to download the "Xautoconfig" file....i type in the url before "wget" and it connects but later says "404 not found 02:46:59 ERROR 404:Not Found"

oh i also found out why it had two drives, turns out i had my external drive plugged in and it recognized it but after disconnecting it i found out that i wanted the first one of the two, but now i'm having problems with downloading the "Xautoconfig" as stated in my last post.... thanks to anyone who helps, in advance

Make sure that you are connected to the internet when getting the Xautoconfig! If you are connected, the server may be down at the moment! Try again later!

ahh i have such bad luck i've fixed everything until the step after "change it to 'default=480i' step i dont know how to exit the screen that comes up after i hit ESC the type ":exit"

gerr okay after i did the last configuration i figured i had to reboot so i did and now i've tried logging in ....."kboot: (typed (ydltext)" and then its repeated what i did as if i were going to configure,.....it asks for login and pw, after i type that in it gives me the "[root@localhot"]#" thing again....was i not supposed to type "ydltext" at the begining as i did the first time?

If you don't have an HDTV, you are supposed to do that! You are at the right place! When it gets to [root@localhot"]# this is where you type in to get the Xautoconfig! That is where you typed in to get Xautoconfig! Make sure that when you go and get it, that it is spelled just like it looks: Xautoconfig

You have to have the X capitalized, the system is really picky! Try that and see if it works!

thanks everybody that helped especially dav! thanks so much i got it working. it just can't seem to see the whole window on some programs.... i tried changing the resolutions but it doesn't let me

Hello, so far i did all it says i got the boatloader and did all that then i put in the cd and a bunch of info comes up and the 2 pinguens on top then it turns off the screen i do not have a HDTV so i tried again and typed in "ydltext" with out the " and it keps saying "File NOT found" there is nothing els i can try and do please help.....

thanks,
Alitica

you type in ydltext when the "kboot:" comes up on the screen! Then it will go to another screen that will show 2 YDL Icons, and 6 penguins! Try that!

Yes i did that! thats all i can do and it says file not found.
