    I can't geet it to start up. here is what it says

    Ubuntu Ps3 KBoot Loader.
    No defualt rootfs was found, or one was found and it didn't containg a message = congig file.

    If no rootfs was found. you can enter the shell here with 'sh'. Exiting will return you to this promt. In the shell you can mount your rootfs as
    /mnt/root/.

    Reasons this may have happened include:
    -No drive with a rootfs was actually found.
    -your rootfs does not have the correct volume label of "/"
    -Your rootfs is corrupt (use the rescue cd to fix this).

    Kboot:_

    ninresnor said to do this down below, but it didn't work. any suggestions?

    so you've already installed ubuntu right? if so then at kboot type:

    /boot/vmlinux initrd=/boot/initrd.img root=/dev/sda1

    this should make it boot up then when it has open a terminal and type

    sudo sed -e 's/sdd1/sda1/' -i /etc/kboot.conf

    once thats opened edit the kboot.conf file so it looks like this

    message=/etc/kboot.msg
    default=linux
    timeout=100
    linux='/boot/vmlinux initrd=/boot/initrd.img root=/dev/sda1 quiet splash'

    that way you wont have to type the first string everytime in kboot.
