Submitted by greg on Sun, 05/08/2011


Posted over at gitbrew.org are the steps to follow to get OtherOS & Linux up and running on your PS3. It's straightforward -- just follow these steps carefully:

This guide assumes you have a general understanding of Linux and are comfortable working from command line. It also assumes your PS3 is VFLASH equipped, which is all models with 16MB NAND. That's, if I'm not mistaken, all PS3 Slim models and a few older "Fat" ones: CECHH-P.

Installing OtherOS
1.(Optional) Run udp_printf_client on your PC to see UDP broadcast debug messages sent by OtherOS utils
2.Delete VFLASH region 6 with delete_vflash6
3.Delete VFLASH region 5 with delete_vflash5
4.Create VFLASH region 5 with create_vflash5
5.Create VFLASH region 6 with create_vflash6
6.Resize VFLASH storage device with resize_vflash.
All data on HDD will be lost after this step, so make a backup!

7.Reboot GameOS
8.Create VFLASH region 7 with create_vflash7
9.Store dtbImage.ps3.bin on USB device, plug it in and store petitboot on VFLASH region 5 with install_otheros

Booting OtherOS
1.Set OtherOS boot flag on VFLASH region 5 with boot_otheros
2.Reboot GameOS with reboot

Booting Linux with petitboot's CUI
1.Place kboot.conf file in /etc directory of your Linux
2.Entries contained in the kboot.conf file are showed in petitboot's CUI
3.Select one entry with keyboard and press 'Enter'

Example of kboot.conf
gentoo_vflash=/boot/vmlinux-2.6.38-gf77c53d root=/dev/ps3vflashh2
gentoo_vflash_hugepages=/boot/vmlinux-2.6.38-gf77c53d root=/dev/ps3vflashh2 hugepages=1
Installing Debian

This will download gitbrew's packaged Debian ISO, partition your newly created vflash, mount the image, unload all drivers and then boot the Debian image.
1.cd /tmp/
2.wget gititbit.ch/boot
3.chmod a+x initimg.sh
4../initimg.sh update
5../initimg.sh auto

After installing Debian...
1.umount /dev/ps3vflashh3
2.mount /dev/ps3vflashh3 /tmp/petitboot/mnt/ps3vflashh3
3.cd /tmp/petitboot/mnt/ps3vflashh3/
4.wget You must login or register to view this content.
5.tar xvjf ps3linux_kernel.tar.bz2
6.cd /tmp/petitboot/mnt/ps3vflashh3/etc/
7.wget gititbit.ch/kboot

And just like that -- OtherOS is back on your PS3 -- your Slim too!
