Same thing for me with a PAL 60Go fw 2.10, blank screen (and freezes ?)

Thank you, (re)marking the active partition with fdisk allowed me to boot
without the tricky procedure.

dom, I've got the same problem as yours. I finally managed to get geoff's kboot-20071220.bld into working, but some manual operation is necessary at boot. at the "kboot" prompt, type the commands : kboot: sh # mount /dev/ps3da2 /mnt/root # kboot /mnt/root kboot: [p...

Hi guys, I did upgrade my ps3 to 2.10 firmware (actually, not me but my child :( ). My problem is (my life mode on): my gentoo won't boot anymore from the hdd. So I did some search and saw a patch to apply for ps3fb. But it did not boot either with the patched kernel (built using a chrooted environm...

If you want to write shader compiler - write a small working demo with basic shader assembling. You can even write some complex shader and output them to arb program. Though I never really used it, the nvidia sdk cg toolkit contains some support for various input and output. I don't know how to get...

Good news.

Yes indeed,
I was far away from my screen and my binoculars are dirty and old (my eyes too by the way) ;-)

Hello,

I did update today to 2.0 firmware.
I tried the svn libps3rsx example, it gives for few seconds a kind of blue textured triangle (with a hole) on an orange screen.
I guess this is the right behavior.

To note that once you have modified the fstab file, you can't boot your old kernel straight forward. You must run the livecd, mount your root partition and edit the fstab for the sda* versus ps3da* stuffs. Perhaps making links with udev can solve this issu. No, udev isn't the problem. The driver wa...

I'm currently trying to get a new kernel version :-) I am finally running ps3 git 2.6.23 kernel. I put there the steps I have done based on a french tutorial for ubuntu. This is just to have a remainder here the next time I change the kernel and to help people having trouble booting a new kernel. H...

Thank you for the answer ralferoo, My partitions are that way : /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda2 14 1318 10482412+ 83 Linux /dev/sda3 1319 1449 1052257+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda4 1450 5729 34379100 5 Extended /dev/sda5 1450 5729 34379068+ 83 Linux sda1 is about 100M for kernel stuf...

Hi all, After trying YLD for some hours and seeing that it was only 32bit, i decided to setup my fourth gentoo machine ;-) I used this doc , doc2 , doc3 and doc4 . As I didn't re-fdisk after the YLD installation, I have a /dev/sda1 empty partition. I did not succeed in putting kernel there and boot ...

Hi all, Finally I took a bundle starter pack. I installed linux (YLD5) on my tv with text mode. As I haven't got an AV component cable right now, i can't test the rgb output but the support is present (parametre->parametre affichage->parametre de sortie video->AV MULTI/Péritel->RGB->576p or pal)

Thank you guys, What are your reasons for buying a PS3? If it's for games, give up on the monitor idea now! If it's for cell development & experimentation, then it doesn't really matter what display you hook up to it as development is easiest using another PC and ssh'ing in. If it's to use as a ...

The connector on my monitor are labelled : (V) (H/HV) (B) (Gsync) (R) I investigated a little and found this from terra soft: Component video This is the third best connection. It is connected by a cable from the PS3 AV Multi-Out port to your TV or monitor's component ports (red, green, and blue plu...

Hi all, this is a question about the new ps3 coming wednesday 10/10. I'm planning to buy this one and to install linux on it. I've waited for some months now, so I can wait until someone kindly answers this few points : - is linux installing just fine on it ? - is the rsx running the same specs/spee...

Hello, I don't know if it's a good idea to have a report button but i came on "I make the rules and you MUST obey!" topic and didn't find a way to alert moderators for that .... btw, i'm like that too : I'm certain there are lurkers who joined but made very few if any posts. I'm that way o...

Hi all, first thank all persons who contributes for the pspsdk. I started to play with my toy, basically using wifi, main cpu and gu. I have a noob-list questions to ask i haven't been able to answer googling, wikiing or looking here. Before you read further, i apologize the lenght of my post and my...

Thank you for your future help.

If you have some informations that you
can give us on the VME, it would be appreciated.

Thank you mrbrown,

Hi everybody, i'm trying to compile some libs for the psp. when configuring libogg, i get the following error : *** [Gentoo] sanity check failed! *** *** libtool.m4 and ltmain.sh have a version mismatch! *** *** (libtool.m4 = 1.5.20, ltmain.sh = 1.5.6) *** Please run&...

You have to reset the IOP to clean everything off first.

thank you Drakonite,

i'm not familiar with the ps2 hardware and i didn't know that.

Thank you blackdroid, 3) loading order is something you need to be aware of. irx A depending on irx B wich have function Y that might not be in an old irx B ( do you get the picture ? :) So i can presume that some old irx can also have deprecated functions (that are not present in the new one), and ...

Hi all, I succeded in installing the toolchain from oopo (better to say the script has run without pbm). 1) I compiled ps2link without problem using the inbuilt irx. When trying to execute it directly from the mc with dev1 mode, the program freeze (inlink can't see the ps2 even if the playstation di...

1) You can't pack irxes, and I doubt I will support that. However, if you "embed" your irxes into the elf, then they naturally get compressed at the same time. But, as a general from your post, you don't seem to be compiling anything, so, this wouldn't concern you. thank you for that poin...

2) Can I pack the file BOOT.ELF used to boot from dev1 mode ? 3) Is it normal to have the nav2ripper down from 559ko to 30ko? Answer to the two previous questions are yes and yes (incredible to lost 530ko when not compressing it) 1) Can the irx files be patched and then work fine ? the answer to th...

Hi pixel, just one question about what can be packed ? I mean : 1) Can the irx files be patched and then work fine ? 2) Can I pack the file BOOT.ELF used to boot from dev1 mode ? 3) Is it normal to have the nav2ripper down from 559ko to 30ko? thanx goes to all of you who are making great stuff here....
