after install other os ++ CFW, i install otheros_prep_tool_v1.0 and boot_other++ on my PS3 FatLady 80gb

Creating OtherOS partitions directly on HDD (not VFLASH)
Permanently disabling HDD/VFLASH encryption
Mapping of HTAB with R/W permission
SYSCON access from LPAR 2
FreeBSD support

Installing OtherOS bootloader

Tested ONLY on PS3 models with VFLASH
During deleting of VFLASH regions GameOS will ask you to reinstall firmware, don't do it, just press PS3 button and continue
I use petitboot as OtherOS bootloader. You could use a different one.
The following order of steps is important
Delete VFLASH region 6
Delete VFLASH region 5
Create VFLASH region 5
Create VFLASH region 6
Install OtherOS bootloader on VFLASH with "Install OtherOS"

Booting OtherOS bootloader

Run "Boot OtherOS"
Reboot GameOS with "Reboot"

Creating a VFLASH partition for Linux
Notes:

Works ONLY on PS3 models with VFLASH
Warning: All your HDD data will be lost, so make a backup
I'm currently working on a solution for PS3 models with NAND flash
Resize VFLASH (creates a 40GB free space on VFLASH, if you need more then feel free to recompile it)
Reboot GameOS
Create VFLASH region 7

Glad to hear your resolution works ok now

I only use portable devices wireless, all my normal equipment like the PS3 is wired because of the speed advantage.
If I copy something from my wireless laptop to the PS3 and I compare it to the speed with my wired PC, my wired PC is 5X faster to copy. Wireless s*cks on my old 100mbit router

I guess a kernel module is added to the kernel to activate the wireless card, so only a driver is needed?

Edit: the way described in your post is the old way to install, this way the PS3dd partition and GPT isn't used. GPT isn't that important to Linux, but if you want to use FreeBSD (=Unix, not Linux) in the future (most compatible to GameOS, GameOS is based on Unix) it is important.

Can you pleas explain what you want a little better advocatus? (remember my native language isn't english)

Petitboot must be installed on the internal drive, but petitboot recognizes external drives with linux install.

[sharp30]

does the red ribbon img need to be on ext hdd for petitboot to recognize it or will it boot from cd rom? sorry need to be more clear i am running petitboot from 256 nand board and have partitioned hdd for other os install.

[sharp30]

finally got it from petitboot i was strsting the bootloader then putting the disc in and it didnt see it. For some reason the installer isnt recognising the 22gb partition need to work that one out next but red ribbon looks really good.

Came across this:

Wireless: Setting up wireless requires you to take down networking. You must have a direct connection to your PS3 to continue. git and build ps3hvc utils Get dependencies PS3:Tools#Dependencies git clone git://git.gitbrew.org/ps3/ps3linux/ps3hvc-utils.git cd ps3hvc-utils make && sudo make install Download glevand's wlan script for your PS3 type: FAT/NAND[4] SLIM/VFlash[5]. You want this in the same directory ps3hvc-utils is in. Take down current driver sudo rrmod ps3_gelic Run enable_wlan_on_*.sh chmod +x enable_wlan_on*.sh ./enable_wlan_on*.sh Bring up new driver sudo modprobe ps3_gelic sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart Test wireless card (by seeing available networks) sudo iwlist scan

If you go to the petitboot shell and cd into /dev, do you see the ps3dd device? That one has to be the one to install to.

thank u for that

Red Ribbon RC4 is very fast compared to everything i tried so far . Congratulations to the author !

3 problems :

I have a LCD TV that's capable of 720p but also 1080i it seems . I set the resolution in GameOS to 1080i but in Petitboot to 720p . Problem is Red Ribbon boots from internal HDD in the same 1080i resolution which is so small and flickering ( 1688 x 964 to be precise )
How do i change that ? Do i have to edit the parameters in Petitboot before i launch it ?

Also , how do i install more apps , like Open Office , Flash Plugin ? I opened Synaptics Package Manager but that shows only what's currently installed , haven't found a way to find other apps . The Red Ribbon author mentioned something about an "app store " being there

How do i shut it down correctly ? I use the LXDE desktop shutdown option , screen goes black with a lot of text and it gets stuck after a massage like EXT4-fs ps3dd1 remounted options(null)

For resolution settings: http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=21822
read both posts.
If you already did that, let me know your kboot.conf settings...

For Synaptics: you have to add extra repositories.
I only installed Aros on Red Ribbon for now for speed tests (smaller distro is faster Aros ) and haven't tested anything else, but I saw Synaptics only displayed the installed packages. Now as we also have to use sudo to get admin rights I think we have to look at Red Ribbon in an Ubuntu way. Maybe this link helps, I am not able to test it for now because an addicted family member is playing Brink on my PS3 atm. Will check later today how to add repo's
https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/...ositories.html

for the shutdown problem: After the online update (don't know if I can call it RC5) my shutdown problems disappeared. Did you do the online update?

Hope this helps a little

I changed the ps3fb parameter from 0 to 3 and it booted in 720p , but at reboot the setting was lost . So i guess this need to be done each time in Petitboot ?

Updating online to the beta RC5 solved some problems when installing with Synaptics , i managed to install Open Office and VLC ( which btw won't display image, just sound don't know whats wrong )
But other programs like Pidgin receive an error when installing

Hi,

You can fix this problem by executing the online update:
