Hi, I managed to set up linux on my old ps2 and was wondering if it is possible to use the ps2 with linux as a NFS server. Are there RPMs available and would it work on my old ps2? Network speed? If there are rpms for nfs server, then I'd like to stream from my dbox 2 linux onto the nfs share. The d...

Hi, I used the old version 1.8 to run Linux on my old ps2 model with lan adapter. Did you managed to get the files for installation or running linux to get burnt onto a Videodvd and loading kernelloader and everything else from such a dvd?!? Would be nice to have a linux running nfs. Is this possibl...

Just found out that there are precompiled packages on playstation2-linux.com so I guess everything will work after decompressing them.
Hopefully a how to is coming soon. It's a nightmare to search for all those tiny little hints!

Hi, so after installing PS2Linux the last week and setting up xwindows I am finnally trying to run some apps on my ps2. I installed gaim without gnome as a package, but no connection was established (network and inet work! tested ping www.google.com and apt-get worked fine) so I guessed it could be ...

Yes, it would, but I would have to place another device in front of my ps2. I got the mouse to work right now, but if I use the linux as a server it would be nice to connect only a keyboard to it and use the pad to do some action within the x window system.

Hi,

I am not a programmer myself, but if someone out there has the time to programm a gamepad mouse driver for the ps2linux, it would be really nice :-). I want to use the second usb plug for a usbstick or even my usbhdd so please help me!

CU!

So finally I saw a xwindow yesterday! But my mouse was not recognized lol I found out that in XGSConfig the mouse links to /dev/usbmouse but I could only find mouse in /dev/ so I made a symbolic link and that at least helped to start xwindow. So I will have to find a way to set up my mouse or better...

I had problems within kernelloader 1.7, too. Changed the config file on my pc to boot from hda2. Did you try to plug your keyboard on different ports?!? Got no problem with my microsoft usb keyboard so far. @megaman. Perhaps it is a good idea to let us select different config files within the kernel...

Which Linux do you install? Black Rhino? I am installing Black Rhino on my hdd with lan adapter and apa support. Perhaps we can exchange information on our progress. Wish you good luck.

Hi, yesterday I give it another try and cp the file to /sbin finnally everything worked fine. Updated about 900 packages and startx could be found. Except for the config file which is missing everything looks fine. Today I will copy the xgsconfig file to the system and try to set up xwindow. It take...

I just updated the main system things as I found out, but now I have another problem. I finally selected all packages and downloaded 1009 packages. Perl and 5 other could not be downloaded via the server. That is way I am now stuck. I can not install the downloaded packages because I get an error. W...

Hi, yesterday I finally got my network set up and dselect all the updates I could get (90MB turn into about 300MB), but sdr or startx are not recognized as commands in linux?!? Is there a different methode to start X on blackrhino linux? Hopefully I can find out this evening. Afterwards I will pack ...

REMEMBER to backup your APA partitions with Winhiip or the like first! Play with partitioning at your own risk! I installed BlackRhino from scratch using Mega Man's instructions, the kernel and initrd.gz from his download site, on a drive which already was formatted APA with many partitions (in fac...

I did not managed to get my usb keyboard to work in the kernelloader menu but afterwards everything worked out fine. I edited the kernel parameter on my pc just store the config in kernelloader and copy the txt file to your usb stick (I used ulancher) @megaman is it posible to get a gui? do I have t...

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

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 missi...

I read through the howto from http://playstation2-linux.com/projects/apa/ for the rhino distribution with APA support. Is it possible to use these Kernel and initr files which are included in the howto? Would not make a big change to give it a try as I see for now. All you have to do is make a backu...

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 me...

Well first of all I will give your howto a try and after this works I can go on. So my list will look like this: 1. Use your howto and install blackrhino basic 2. try to update to a x system 3. apa support 4. perhaps a howto which includes my experiences (e.g.: memor32) ... and with a little luck yo...

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

Does this also work for the APA support to use HDL and Linux? Sounds great! What are the limitations to the normal RTE Boot?

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...

Hi, I use one of the new memor32 memorycards which have a mod chip inside. I managed to start the kernelloader elf file with the boot option of this device. My question is now how do I get a linux rhinodistribution onto my internal hdd and boot it with the kernelloader elf. Is there a tutorial alrea...
