GUIDE: UDF 2.5 Support on PS3 Linux - BluRay and HD-DVD Mountability

[degolas]

This will enable YDL to recognize NTFS external hard drives and therefore playback 4GB+ files using for example VLC or MPlayer? Did the BluRay movies run smoothly, without distorsions and how did you play them? VLC? MPlayer?

Thanks in advance

to install unrar ability, just open in gnome as root, in applications menu choose add/remove software, wait till it retrieves software info, then click search type in unrar, it will find a unrar pkg that it can install...

I installed the kernel update and it went alright, tho it takes forever to make the files.. Anyway, before reboot I dumped a bunch of files onto a fat32 hdd I have, when it came back in, I wanted to restart the video, but it doesn't like the file. I tried copy to internal hdd, no better.. I think this is not compatible with fat32 or something.. Anyone else had this issue?

SONY: RELEASE XviD compatible player for PS3 you money-grubbing fools!

Hi,

I have a problem ! When I entered mkinitrd /boot/initrd_NTFS_UDF.img 2.6.16, I got this error message :

No module ehci-hcd found for kernel 2.6.16, aborting.

I don't know what I can do.
Thx

PS : my Linux is Fedora Core 8

Bye

Is NTFS recommended over a FAT32 formatted system?

when i type cd linux at the start, it says the file or directory cannot be found, although when I extracted the kernel patch to root, the folder linux was created, im a bit stuck!

even if I do cd root followed by cd linux i can get into the directory to enable me to write the command lines, but make mrproper still doesnt work

I have a problem, I followed the guide and everything seemed to go well, even made sure of typos, but when at kboot it doesn't recognize the ydl_ntfs_udf command.

any help?

I've just followed this through, everything went smoothly apart from my external NTFS doesn't mount! Bugger!

One thing i noticed was i went to format the external and it said "Error, The device '/dev/sdc1/ can not be formatted.

I noticed that in the kboot writing the last line, i had to write 'dev/sda1'
Would this be the reason i can't mount the HDD?

I'm also getting the same mounting issues as my counterpart above, anyone know what's going on?

sorry this might be simplist thing in the world but i cant complete the final steps because i cant find the kboot.conf file. i go into terminal cd / and i go to the etc folder and there is no kboot.conf, i tried whereis kboot.conf and i get nothing. when i reboot i get the kboot prompt and the type ls and ive got the kboot.conf file but i dont have an editor in the kboot prompt so i cant edit it.

im totally new to linux and sorry if this is the easiest thing in the world but i just cant find how to get to it. i can tell its just a level higher than i can look at when looged in as root, cause at the kboot prompt i have a folder called filesystems, which i assume im stuck in and cant get above. anyway some help would be great.

thanks
