Yea, i can't get the program to work on my linux, I managed to get around all the compile errors, and then ended up @ something about send_cmd not being found... and i gave up.

I'll try to figure it out later... CJPC would it be more beneficial for me to figure it out and fix the C or can just write the rewrite in Java and get this working?

i'm a linux noob but followed your instructions on page 1 step by step.

when i got to the make modules command i got an error (after a lot of processing) and could not complete the subsequent steps

when i unrared kernel2.6.16 patched UDF2.5 (For PS3 Linux) in windows before tranferring the files to linux via sd card it said that there were 2 files with the same name and asked if i want to replace the previous one. i said yes, could this be the problem?

please help, i really want to figure this out.

Do not unzip the gzip file contained in the rar while in windows!

This will produce that error of more than one file thing.

thanks hacked, not unzipping it in windows worked great. i can see the contents of an hd-dvd backed up onto a ntfs external hard drive, but can't play the hd contents in vlc and the sd ones play but have no sound. having trouble installing mplayer. any advice?

All the corrections have been made to the file... except the one above that says "Do not extract in windows except the rar."

Beyond that ignore the errors (warnings rather)... and things will work, it's worked plenty already... if you have a point you can't go further, just put a post.

wouldn't you have to actually play the movie? after the player reads the disc to start the movie, then the keys are available in memory? is there another way?

Ok, I guess I need a hand. I hate asking questions, but I just can't find too much information on this subject yet. I'm not sure where my problem lies, but I'll try and fill you in.

I have version 1.54 on my ps3, if that matters. I installed YDL (using the yellowdog-5.0-phoenix-20061208-PS3.iso), and then I didn't do anything else except follow your guide from post 1 (I've read thru this thread a few times of course).

I've tried a few times now, with the exact same results. I can view my external usb ntfs hdd just fine, but I cannot write to it (access denied). I'm logged in as root and using the default(?) enlightenment desktop - though using GNOME is no different. But that leads to another issue, which I haven't looked into yet - when I start the session in gnome, I get the following error: "No '/dev/pmu' device found".

I can read/copy from the BluRay drive and from my external hdd - I just can't write to it.

I'm not sure what the kernel-2.6.16-ppc64-ps3.config is supposed to look like, but the lines referencing NTFS from that file end up being set like this:
CONFIG_NTFS_FS=m
# CONFIG_NTFS_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_NTFS_RW is not set

And at step 7.9 when I click Yes and get back to the terminal window from the blue Kernel config window, this is what I see ... not sure if this is relevant:
... HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/yesno.o
HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/lxdialog
scripts/kconfig/mconf arch/powerpc/Kconfig

kernel-2.6.16-ppc64-ps3.config:1315:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol SQUASHFS_VMALLOC

*** End of Linux kernel configuration.
*** Execute 'make' to build the kernel or try 'make help'.

I've gotten that each time I've tried this. I'm following the guide exactly. I have RedHat installed on an old pc of mine, and I've used it as a test webserver for a while - but I am quite a linux newb (the damn thing has always just worked, so I haven't done much to it that wasn't done thru webmin).

Anyone have any suggestions or thoughts?

i don't think write access with ntfs is working... just use a linux partition (has no file size limitation)... if you need to read that partition in windows, i am using an open source ext2fs driver that works like a champ...

but no go on ntfs, sorry

Hacked, can UDF kernel be installed on Fedora 6? I'm new to Linux and wonder if the steps are identical for Fedora 6 installed on PS3. Tks.
