I know, i ended up having to do this from my computer because of that, but i'm surprised the ps3 doesn't have the "save link target" feature in its browser as the psp does |
I ended up finding a similar application written in C (and it was tarball archive!) so I was able to download that off my ps3 browser, compiled it in the semi working kernel and it worked!
here's a link to the C source in case anyone was in the same predicament as me http://www.koders.com/c/fid80D9F22E4581B08399F6CCA7B3FA454529248CE0.aspx |

After I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.23, the xubuntu doesn't shutdown anymore. It freezes during the xubuntu shutdown screen.
Is this a general problem in 2.6.23, i.e. I should look forward for upgrading to 2.6.24, or something is wrong in my config?
When I run the command:
sudo update-initramfs -k 2.6.23 -u
I got this:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.23
find: /lib/firmware/2.6.23: No such file or directory
My /lib/firmware folder is completely empty. What should be there and where to get it? Could this be related on the shutdown problem? Other than that, everything seems to work. |

Edit the /etc/kboot.conf file and change the line that starts with:
default=
to
default=old
You can also hit tab at kboot prompt, and all configurations will cycle through with each tab key press. |

I rebooted again, and typed old, and then it said vmlinux.old wasn't found. I went into the directory, and found out that vmlinux.old actually didn't exist, so I tried to remount the /dev/ps3da1 directory, into read write mode, and that didn't work, because for some reason, it thinks the directory is supposed to be sda1. So, I tried to remount /dev/sda1, and that just said that it was busy.
So, with all these trials, and errors, aside from wanting to take the PS3 and throwing it out of the @#$^^ing window. Is there a way that I can get boot back into Ubuntu, without having to reinstall? |
I had this same problem, but hopefully the fix is as easy for you as it was for me. When it boots into the busybox shell, hit CTRL+ALT+F1 to get to the shell and enter in your username and password. Look at your /etc/fstab file with
| Code: | | sudo nano /etc/fstab |
If you were using an older kernel, your partitions might be mounted with something like /dev/sdd1, but this needs to be changed for the newer kernel. I replaced the entries for the two partitions with /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2, then used the UUID of /dev/sda1 in my kboot.conf for the test entry. You could also try naming the partitions /dev/ps3da1 and /dev/ps3da2 and using /dev/ps3da1 as the root of your test entry in kboot.conf.
Hope this helps. |

Some background behind the patched kernel that you are installing as part of the steps in this thread.
The ISO ADDON that must be downloaded as explained in Step 1 at the start of this thread comes from Geoff Levand at Sony. The original link is here:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/
Change log about the frame buffer issue that causes the problems with FW 2.10 is here:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/CELL-Linux-CL_20071220-ADDON/CHANGES-e.txt
Regarding bluetooth: check the change log link above again, under v1.5: Bluetooth is simply disabled in Geoff's fixed kernel, because shutdown took too long. This explains why Bluetooth will not work after you apply the fixes in this tread.
Note: Geoff's stuff is mostly for Fedora (hence the RPMs). So do not use any otheros.bld from his site. Stick to the one advised in the Ubutnu PS3 installation instructions on this site.
Hope this helps. |

Okay, I'm running PSUbuntu 7.1 with the updated firmware. I've tried updating the kernel and it wouldn't boot up. So I did the patch shown here and it still doesn't work. I can get it to see the new kernel, but it still freezes on "booting system...."
Any ideas?? |

I'm not sure what fixes is included, probably lots of them. But anyways bluetooth is working - at least ps3 can connect to my mobile phone and send files to it. Have not tried vice versa... Ps3's current configuration:
-fw 2.10
-ubuntu hardy (daily updated)
-custom kernel 2.6.24-rc7 |

If you would have reread the instructions you would have figured it out. For future reference, when you open a file that you expect to not be empty but it is empty, that usually means you didn't open the right file. (Linux doesn't prompt you to say the file couldn't be found, it assumes you want to create a new, empty file.)
It looks like you tried to open /ect/kboot.conf instead of /etc/kboot.conf.

Did you have to do anything special to get 24-rc7 to work? I tried to bring that kernel in over 7.10, and after compiling with no errors (as far as I could tell) the kernel wouldn't boot. (I'm running 2.01.) |

Nothing special, just configure kernel with "ps3_defconfig2" option, compile kernel, install it (+ headers) and use otheros.bld from Geoff's CELL kit. Kernel source is from Geoff's git at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geoff/ps3-linux-patches.git
Kernels 2.6.24-> include fix for GPU command buffer size introduced along fw 2.10. This perhaps could cause that screen remains black in ps3's with older fw. Is there any error message at boot or is the screen just black? |
