Just another ps2 slim that refuses to work with USB...

My machine:

PS2 Slim SCPH 77004 PAL

The network adapter was not detected too...

I launched the kernel loader from the last ulaunchelf's version.

With kernel Loader is possible to start a Live CD/DVD of Linux on a PS2 Slim?

Yeah, it's got problems. :) The video should probably be initialized to "standard" VESA modes for VGA. Virtually every monitor out (even LCDs) support the "standard" VESA modes. Who's working on the netbsd, by the way?

I've uploaded the new version 1.7.
CDVD is now working. Currently PS1 CDs and PS2 DVDs are supported.
Linux now uses the correct time/date.

EDIT: CDVD is deactivated by default. You need to enable all SBIOS calls in the configuration menu.

Launchelf rejects my kernelloader file. This must be a bug in launchelf.

I saw the same behaviour when I tried to load eedebug.irx without activating IOP debug output. Did you changed the default configuration?

You should try if disabling of hard disc and network in the configuration menu helps. It is possible that the modchip changes something at the hard disc interface.

Did you try to deactivate the modchip ("Hardware Sleep Mode" - Pressing 6 times reset).

EDIT: I really disabled the modchip (hardware sleep mode) so that he couldn't assign the hd and network wrong... I also disabled the hd and network support and I also disabled debug modules and eedebug.irx

but nothing happens it still hangs on that screen :(

If there is any way to debug or anything which could help you mega-man ,please let me know I want this sooo bad ...

thanx

Hi,

perhaps it is posible to make a linux distribution with the memor32 memorycard mod chip. The trick used with this mod is that it uses special patched dvds. The dvds contain the date but are seen by the ps2 as normal video dvds. Booting the kernelloader elf worked fine, too. So perhaps we can set up a package of files one needs to install linux (e.g. Black Rhino) with this way!

Cu!

Yes, SMS has a modul to load e.g. mp3s from a Video DVD!

ok .. that was interesting^^^soooo :

the "debug kloader" which you've uploaded hasn't detected my tv again... so I used your normal kloader V 1.7 again ;)

I used YOUR config which you've posted :) ,the normal initrd.gz and as kernel the debug kernel you've uploaded :)

AND THEN IT JUST WORKED :) I was in linux =)

(it also works WITHOUT your special config.... simply use the iopdebug kernel you've uploaded...)

SO IT IS UP TO THE KERNEL
I have uploaded my ps2link debug log... but I don't think that this is interesting any longer...

EDIT: it always says then : hda:lost interrupt

5 times... then it skips and comes with another error message it was something like:

spbios_cge call errfuction 192 IPRC -1
spbios_cge call errfuction 192 IPRC -1
spbios_cge call errfuction 192 IPRC -1
spbios_cge call errfuction 192 IPRC -1
spbios_cge call errfuction 191 IPRC -1
spbios_cge call errfuction 191 IPRC -1

pretty long.. and then

"found ramdisk image at block 0"
"not enough free space to ?mount? the virtual image"

I don't exactly remember but it was veeery much like that

when I disable the "hd and network support" he has also the
spbios_cge call errfuction 192 IPRC -1
spbios_cge call errfuction 192 IPRC -1
spbios_cge call errfuction 192 IPRC -1
spbios_cge call errfuction 192 IPRC -1
spbios_cge call errfuction 191 IPRC -1
spbios_cge call errfuction 191 IPRC -1

problem AND hangs pretty long with only assigning the MAC adress...but not the IP adress...

my debug log:

Source for smscdvd driver *should* be on the web svn on this site, but the link hasn't worked for me lately. Here's another link where you can get the source. Just click on "sms", then "drv", then "smscdvd" in the source tree:

http://www.koders.com/info.aspx?c=ProjectInfo&pid=KTYBBQDEKPHGL398PN94UUM75F

In SMS this allows data to be placed on a home-created DVD-Video disc with a minimal VIDEO_TS folder to allow maximum non-video data.

I think I know what my problem was... ( the problem that the normal kernel hanged up @ "copying files and start" ) ....

the download from your website cancelled after 5 seconds of downlaod the connection... so I think my kernel was just incompleted...

pleaaaase mirror all your files elsewhere becuz your website has a few connection problems... (I could mirror,too if I would have all your files completed)

thx

This website is already the best I could find for free. Most providers doesn't let me upload big files. They fear to death, that someone could upload illegal mp3s. It would be nice when you could mirror it.

I loaded the SMS CDVD driver, but I only see an empty directory of a video DVD (checked this with pressed DVDs and burned DVDs). PS1 CDs and PS2 DVDs are working. I only tried my existing DVDs without extra files.
Did someone know if SMS shows the VIDEO TS folder or other DVD video specific files?

Hi,

@megaman Try http://www.megaupload.com or Rapidshare for your files! As your files are all legal I guess this is the best and fastest way!
Did you get the point that with the cdvd driver you need to burn VideoDVDs which have only a 1s Video and the rest is data of your own choice? Or give the memento patcher a try. You just have to download the firmware it contains the patcher for iso images!

CU!

Another thought is to make a google page. Lots of devs put their projects on google pages. You get a decent amount of storage and bandwidth.

Hi,

I just managed to get linux prompt on my PS2 with memor32 to boot the kernelloader 1.7 and install with the howto from Megaman! Great thing. No I can boot Linux without the RTE! Next time I will give the GUI a try and afterwards the apa support. Hopefully the sound option and all the other missing parts will come soon, too! Great work so far Megaman!

CU!

P.S.:
Next time I will post whick model I use. Think it is a V3 model, but as the lanadpater is in the way I will have to remove the hdd first X-)

They're great for when something first comes out - lot's of bandwidth to handle "the rush" of people downloading. By the time the file is no longer available, demand will be low enough to use something more long-term, but lower bandwidth.

I found a small error in the howto installation guide at point 7

fdisk /dev/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc

should be

fdisk /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
