 Posted: Fri Jul 11, 2008 9:47 pm Post subject: Help With Ps2 Linux |
 |
|
Hi, im just wondering if it is possible to run linux on a ps2 without a hardrive. Therefore only using a USB memory sitck.
If this isn't possible, can you use a USB hardrive instead. Or is there anyway of attaching a IDE hardrive to the Ps2 without the network adapter
Thanks from a Ps2 linux n00b! |

Yes, it is possible to use USB memory stick or USB hard disc.
Only shutdown is not working correctly.

When you have the fat PS2, you can use the official kloader 1.8 and kernel (vmlinux) at sourceforge. For starting the installed system, you need initrd.usb2.gz. |

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 on the cd/dvd. |
