Tutorial on how to do this has been released via pastie, a bit disappointing to some of you this method requires a LAN connection to your PC, so it would seem the PC is doing most of the actual “work”.

We advise those interested for a fully PS3 only linux to keep up to tabs with graf’s work. Its a small step, but nevertheless those interested the tutorial is below:

It's called WUBI, and you can uninstall it like any other program. It dual boots between Windows and Linux, with a start up option when you turn on your computer.

    ubuntu-desktop% sudo apt-get install dhcp3-server tftpd-hpa nfs-kernel-server

You must login or register to view this content. = AsbestOS

You must login or register to view this content. = Kmeaw LV2 Patcher v9

You must login or register to view this content. = rootfs

You must login or register to view this content. = kernel image and modules

extract rootfs into

    

/mnt/experimental: 

% sudo mkdir -p /mnt/experimental 

% sudo tar -C /mnt/experimental -xvpf /path/to/gentoo-ps3-20101020.tar.bz2

then copy

    2.6.36-rc7-01073-g47a9595-dirty

from ps3linux.tar.gz into

    /mnt/experimental/lib/modules.

Set up the DHCP server. Put this in

    /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf

:

    

option domain-name "example.org"; 

option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4; 

default-lease-time 600; 

max-lease-time 7200; 

ddns-update-style none; 

authoritative; 

log-facility local7; 

subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { 

range 192.168.2.128 192.168.2.250; 

} 

next-server 192.168.2.1; 

filename "kboot.conf"; 

option routers 192.168.2.1;

Set up your wired network interface (eth0) to have a static IP address "192.168.2.1".

Copy vmlinux file into

    /var/lib/tftpboot.

add this line to

    /etc/exports

(requires root privs):

    /mnt/experimental 192.168.0.0/16(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,anonui  d=0,anongid=0)

Then everything is done. Let's start up the services:

    % sudo service tftpd-hpa restart 

% sudo service dhcp3-server restart 

% sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart

Create a kboot.conf file in

    /var/lib/tftpboot

with this line inside:

    linux='vmlinux video=ps3fb:mode:2 root=/dev/nfs rw ip=dhcp nfsroot=192.168.2.1:/mnt/experimental panic=5'

That's all. Run Linux from lv2patcher v9 and see if it boots.

UPDATE:

AsbestOS Installer V1 – Now Linux Works On PS3 FATs

Kmeaw just informed us that he has updated his AsbestOS installer to V1 with a separate downloads for FATs.

Ability to boot Linux from USB has also been added. In this case you will have Debian. Check out the How-To below:

1. install AsbestOS installer v1 or higher: slim – You must login or register to view this content., fat – You must login or register to view this content.

2. partition a USB disk to have at least one partition (FAT-formatted);

3. You must login or register to view this content. unpack linux.img and put it into the root dir of usb disk;

4. run AsbestOS installer;

5. install lv2 patcher v9 or higher: You must login or register to view this content.

6. attach an ethernet cable, connected to a network with a dhcp-server (just for the initial boot, it can be a SOHO router – just anything with DHCP);NO LONGER NECESSARY IN ASBESTOS 1.2+)

7. run lv2 patcher and select “Linux”;

8. as you see the fb console with penguins, you can unplug the ethernet cable; (NO LONGER NECESSARY IN ASBESTOS 1.2+)

9. login: ps3, password: ps3.

If you don’t see anything, press Ctrl-Alt-F1, then Alt-F7.

You need Kmeaw’s LV2 patcher V9 to boot Linux kernel with. Also, you need to set up a DHCP, TFTP and NFS servers on your LAN to make it work.

Wireless connection is not supported by AsbestOS yet.

UPDATE:
You can find the sources of Kmeaw’s updated AsbestOS for his Installer on 3.55 You must login or register to view this content.

UPDATE:

AsbestOS Installer v1.2 – You Don’t Have To Use Ethernet Cable Now

Just earlier Kmeaw’s AsbestOS Installer has been updated to v1.2, it comes with the ability to install and boot Linux without an Ethernet cable which is the case previously

Originally posted by another user

kmeaw: latest version is v1.2
kmeaw: it can work without ethernet cable at all
kmeaw: however it still supports ethernet booting for developers that would like to experiment with their own kernel builds

Below are the separate downloads for Slim and FAT model of the PS3.
