if not, by followin instruction givin by ydl support, would i be able to still have all my saved data, or will it erase every thing saved on my ydl/
Here's the way it works.
When you start PS3 Linux, it sets a video mode as part of the kboot: prompt. You can edit this kboot: mode in the file
/etc/yaboot.conf Since you can get to your desktop with
startx, this means that the PS3's video mode is set correctly at kboot:
Hence, there's no need for step 5.
Editing yaboot.conf is tricky. If you just copy and paste step 5 from the YDL guide, I can almost guarantee your system will not boot. You need to replace the {YOUR VIDEO MODE} with the actual video mode you need to use. Also - the
root=LABEL=/1 may not be the same on your system depending on how the hard disk is formatted; if you copy and paste that root= parameter in, and your LABEL is different - your system won't find the boot volume.
Hence - I recommend not editing /etc/yaboot.conf unless you need to, or feel comfortable recovering your system.
If you follow YDL's instructions,
omitting step 5, and something goes wrong, your data
will not be erased. Instead, just the video screen will be messed up. Luckily, if it is, you can get back to a text mode by using Ctrl-Alt-F1 from the messed up screen, and fixing it from there.
