Test with both BluRay games and BluRay movies.
Not tested but should work with HD-DVD drives.
I strongly encourage all who wish install this use the earliest versions of OtherOS.bld, OtherOS.self, and either Fedora Core 5 or YDL. AGAIN USE OLDEST AVAILABLE YDL AND FC5. Although it shouldn't matter, lower firmware will increase your chance of success.
Because of some issues I had that were unexplained, but later resolved, a pre-patched kernel is included (Does not have SquashFS patch installed, doesn't seem to matter) This process has been repeated serveral times to make it easiest and most likely to work on the kernel 2.6.16. (The YDL stock kernel)
NTFS_Write in guide too
GUIDE:
1. Boot into OtherOS
2. Download
kernel2.6.16 patched UDF2.5 (For PS3 Linux)
2.1. Login as root
2.5. Extract to the folder /root/linux (That's just how I did it so I don't want to change anything)
(Placing the RAR in root and then right-click "extract here" will do this)
3. PRESS ALT+Esc and TYPE termininal and then PRESS up THEN enter (or click the terminal icon)
4. TYPE cd linux (That's cd SPACE linux)
5. TYPE make mrproper
6. TYPE make clean
7. TYPE make menuconfig
7.1. PRESS enter
7.2. HOLD down and THEN SELECT "Load an Alternative Configuration File"
7.4. HOLD backspace til the line is blank (see Screen_shot_1.jpg)
7.3. Right-Click "Copy" this line or type it (kernel-2.6.16-ppc64-ps3.config) (See Screen_shot_2.jpg)
7.4. Select Okay
7.5. Go up to and Select "File System"
7.6. HOLD down, Select "DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems" (See Screen_shot_3.jpg)
7.7. Goto "NTFS write support" PRESS Y
7.8. PRESS right Then enter, til you see (Screen_shot_4.jpg)
7.9. Select "Yes"
7.91. For safety, TYPE make menuconfig, and then PRESS Y.. right THEN enter again and Select "Yes" again
8. TYPE make vmlinux
6.1. PRESS enter
9. TYPE make modules
10. TYPE make modules_install
11. TYPE mkinitrd /boot/initrd_NTFS_UDF.img 2.6.16
12. TYPE cp vmlinux /boot/vmlinux_NTFS_UDF
13. TYPE cp System.map /boot/System.map
(Don't forget all of this -Linux- is very case sensitive, be careful)
14. TYPE gedit /etc/kboot.conf
15. At the end, type this line - (See Screen_shot_5)
ydl_ntfs_udf='/dev/sda1:/vmlinux_NTFS_UDF initrd=/dev/sda1:/initrd_NTFS_UDF.img root=/dev/sda2 init=/sbin/init video=ps3fb:mode:3 rhgb' (You can also change default=ydl_ntfs_udf, and you can also change the mode to 4 for 1080i)
16. Save and reboot
17. When kboot: comes up type ydl_ntfs_udf
17.1. PRESS enter
18. It should now be booted up with NTFS write support and UDF 2.5 read support
Sorry about the length but it makes it step by step easy for a newb I hope. O and there was a video, sorta, guide, (probably blurry anyways), but I decided not to post it because I had some college girls over...and well, I just don't want to get them in any trouble.
