NIC in PS2 Slim - I'll buy one ps2 for me now! : ) I'd like to ask what are the status of any newer gcc port to ps2, and how about the 2.6 kernel port to the ps2 architecture? Also for XFree86/Xorg, what is the status of it's code for ps2 environment? I think that if we get an updated linux distribu...

Any news for the PS2 Slim NIC?

PS2 Linux rocks!

Hi there people,
As the NIC is not working in the PS2 Slim, is it possible to attach an external USB NIC adapter?
Did anyone tried this?
How about a USB Hub, will it work?

Hi Megaman and you all!

Well, We tried the combination you say, but the kernelloader now freezes after the kernelloader loads the kernel and initrd with the sentence: "Loading the modules"

The kernelloader already worked before, but usb never worked.

The PS2 here: SCPH-75010

Hi all, We are ready to test linux on a ps2 slim again ;) we would like to know where we can download the latest kernel loader and kernel that works for ps2 slim. how about the linux distribution, what do you use? blackrhino? how about the old site: http://mitglied.lycos.de/ps2dev/linux.html ? Thank...

ok, I tried to ifconfig eth0 in the initrd, but there is no eth0... harddisk and network is enabled in the loader. may be ps2 slim has a different network interface? how about the usb support in linux - does it uses a wrapped ps2sdk usb driver or a totally different driver, because the keyboard work...

hi megaman,
can you put the kernel network interface module inside the initrd?
since the ps2 slim is w/ problems w/ the usb keyboard, i could try acessing it remotelly.

another thing, is possible to use the joystick inside linux?

bye,

hi megaman, I tried your new loader version, and now the nice background image appears ok to me! - i'm using a ntsc console. but some strange things happens: the usb flash used in Action Replay to load the loader do not works inside the loader, but another usb flash I have acess works ok inside the ...

Hi MegaMan, I could not load the ps2link version you posted w/ the version I'm using (1.24). Do you have a iso image of this version you are using? (If not, I'll make a .iso for that elf). I'm using a NTSC console, and I'm sure that NTSC mode is interlaced. The screen was rolling because PAL is 50Hz...

Hi MegaMan, Using ps2link 1.24 to load "loader 1.1", I got the error: --- Error Message: Out of VRAM while loading texture (cloud.rgb). --- And when I try to boot the kernel, it boots ok, but the usb problem remains the same. Can you provide me a iso image w/ ps2link that works for you? Or...

Wow, keep the great work, MegaMan!!!

Tomorrow I'll try the new loader version in PS2 Slim, to see if keyboard works.

One thing: I'm using ps2link version 1.24, that is the only version that comes w/ a iso image. Is that ok?

Hi megaman, First I tried w/ Action Replay Max, then the loader gets loaded, but when I try to acess my usb storage, the loader freezes. Then I tried w/ ps2link, the loader then got loaded ok and could see the usb storage, select a kernel and initrd from the usb storage, and boot. I did not tested t...

USB is not working here. (loader 1.0, test kernel from the site, PS2 Slim).

The error kernel gives me is:

usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=1 (error=-145)
usb.c: failed adding a new device. Address=1

then this message appears many times, w/ 'address' being incresed by 1, each message.

wrong post.
