Gentoo Linux successfully installed in internal PS3 Slim HDD

PS3 hacker and developer graf_chokolo has some great news for those who want to put Linux on their PS3 Slims. PS3Hax reports that the dev has made further inroads into bringing OtherOS back to the Sony home video game console.

 

Here's an in-depth explanation of how it was done straight from graf_chokolo's blog:

 

Great news, guys I was very busy in the last days and i managed to install Gentoo on the internal HDD of PS3 Slim
I created a new VFLASH region of size 40GB and installing my Linux kernel there right now And GameOS doesn’t touch this region when i boot it So you can reformat your HDD (but not VFLASH) and Linux will be still there I resized VFLASH from 256MB to about 40GB
Next steps:
  • Compiling petitboot for PS3
  • Installing petitboot on VFLASH
  • Creating HV CFW which is capable of booting GameOS or petitboot. petitboot can boot Linux (or other OS) from HDD, FLASH, USB, CDROM or NFS (just like 3.15 did it or me on my PS3 3.41)
  • Creating a more user-friendly approach for installing Linux on internal HDD
  • BTW, check out my new ps3stor-utils and Linux device driver ps3stormgr. It allows you to create/delete storage regions on PS3 Linux I used it to create a new VFLASH region for Linux.
Here are my Linux partitions on VFLASH:
brw-rw—- 1 root disk 253, 112 Mar 25 19:19 /dev/ps3vflashh
brw-rw—- 1 root disk 253, 113 Mar 25 19:19 /dev/ps3vflashh1
brw-rw—- 1 root disk 253, 114 Mar 25 19:21 /dev/ps3vflashh2
brw-rw—- 1 root disk 253, 115 Mar 25 19:23 /dev/ps3vflashh3
OtherOS++ will be back and even better than my 3.41 version
HV rules !!!

They comment so they don't have to deal with the idiots commenting 1st post crap.

Make Sense?

It's not really a pain to deal with that, plus someone can always post "second"

Yeah, ok. So when 1st post crap isn't there and someone puts in 2nd. The meaning behind the 1st post is lost. Do you actually see many 2nd posts? NO! Why? Maybe cause 2nd post with out the 1st post being there is nothing more then FAIL.

Besides, Who cares. We're dealing with a bunch of kids that think cluttering up threads with 1st post crap is fun. That's the whole thing. Were you 1st? NO you weren't! YOU FAIL! If you aint first then you aint nothing but A 2nd grade garbage trying to live of the other guys coat tails. :-?

Enough said,

It wouldn't professional for a journalist to leave their opinion in the article or their questions. It would kinda make the article look bias and start flame-wars.

Great.

But for now it's better to wait for Sony to cool off, and let them figure a civilized way to work out things (banhammer).

Sue? Really?

Suing people isn't going to change anything on PS3 at all because homebrew and piracy will still be ongoing.

Sony fanboys always think suing is the way to go, wrong!

He's just one more of those who wants every hacker to be sued.

Great news. Once he's got the process down and streamlined, I'll be one of the first in line to install Linux on my PS3. That's why I bought the darn thing, so I could mod it and put Linux on it. Contrary to popular belief, there are plenty of us who mod stuff so we can run Linux and Homebrew, not so we can pirate games.

you really don't need to read Ps3 news anymore, just measure the steam emitting from the Sony execs ears and how fast they can run crying to their lawyers and you know how serious the news is.

PS3 + Linux = a really cheap, reliable, compact and low power consumption web server solution. My main computer (which I left on 24/7) died, and hosting on my laptop was proving to be a bitch so Linux coming back is a real boon. I just need to figure out how to get XAMPP working on it properly when I have the time, because I was so used to just installing WAMP. I barely use my PS3 for games these days, so it's perfect by me.
