would it be possible to make a more stripped down version of the kernelloader, that would accept a default config file and instantly start the kernel, without the fancy GUI? This was already requested and was added to the CVS. You can select an auto boot time. I uploaded a new release at: http://so...

somebody on psx-scene forums discovered that slim ps2 carries multiple dvd player encrypted files, for each region - named in similar manner. This is very interesting and it makes sense. I will include code that will use ROMVER to detect the region (this is normally used to detect NTSC or PAL). I a...

I got ps2 slim with freevast/McBoot 1.5 so i was wondering if there's a way to have Linux via a LIVE CD / DVD distro or to have a distro to launch thru my 4 giga pendrive or my 2 giga pendrive..... So i was also wondering if there's a tutorial or maybe it's too soon for McBoot users..... This doesn...

Today I run into the same problem and I get around it by using:

There was not enough memory.

Unfortunately, I'm having no success. Although the linux appears to boot properly and shows no error messages, it shows me the bash "/>" but pressing any keys nothing happens, like a 'system halt'. Num and Caps Lock doesn't turn on/off. The cursor flashes at the screen but i can't interac...

I'm afraid i can't use this great linux loader. I'm following the steps EXACTLY as explained on MegaMan website but I can't go even in the command line. Here is what I'm getting when booting using: kloader1.8.elf; vmlinux-2.4.17-ps2-devfs-20080302 or vmlinux-2.4.17-ps2-20080209 initrd.usb2.gz; init...

is there anyway to start kloader by means other than listed in your tutorial? would it work if i burnt kloader and system.cnf to a cd Any possible way of loading ELF files should work. I never tested starting from cd or dvd. My suggestion is to put also the kernels, the base image and the initrds o...

Slim PSTwo Linux is still under test.

Yes, it is possible to use USB memory stick or USB hard disc. Only shutdown is not working correctly. See http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=10156&start=0 When you have the fat PS2, you can use the official kloader 1.8 and kernel (vmlinux) at sourceforge. For starting the installed system,...

Ps2 shutting down when typing Exec /sbin/init right ? Yes. I didn't see that init was already started in initrd. Init need to have PID 1. I uploaded a initrd with replaced init.

step 21 : crtmode=ntsc root=/dev/sda1 ro (usb memory stick partitions: vfat32 + ext2 + swap) You tried to mount a USB memory stick directly at startup.

Mega Man

Did you check that the hard drive is set to master (jumper)?
Check for enabling/disabling 2GB or 36GB clip and other jumpers.
It is also possible that hard drive is just defect or not compatible.

Mega Man

You can use Windows for formating the last partition with fat32.

I would suggest to use uLaunchELF as startup application. As far as I know it also supports reading DVDs, but I never tested this. You can also start ELFs located on USB memory sticks.

Either you don't have internally connected a hard disc or you have the same problem as described here: http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=10452 You can enter the command: dmesg | less to see if hard disc was detected while Linux startup.

You need first a program which can start ELF files. There must be a menu or a special key combination in your mod chip. I would suggest to start uLaunchELF and then start kloader.elf with it.
