Yellow Dog Linux

so i just started to install ydl 6.1 without any preparations and when i get to the menu with 2 penguins on it i dont get anywhere. i would just want to get back to my normal ps3 but i dont know how, iv tried to do some commands as like ps3-boot something. please help me

Type this at the kboot prompt:

Code: Select all

game

And if the game command doesn't work, hold down your power button for five seconds and it'll reset your video settings, which you will have to manually fix, and you will be back at your xmb.

the game command is way easier.

I have a problem that continues off of his.

I used the game command and it reads, 'ERROR: can't change boot flag'
Originally, my PS3 would freeze just after the installation command after deregistering any USB devices.

I also tried holding the button down, but it only came right back to Linux when i restarted.

Someone help?

This should work in any case:

1. Turn off your PS3 using the switch on the back

2. Wait a few seconds and turn it on again using the switch on the back

3. Hold your finger on the front power "button" for around 5 seconds or so -- until it beeps twice and comes back on. This should: Reset the factory default audio/video settings and also change the boot flag so the Game OS boots instead of Linux.

This is documented in the online manual for the PS3:

Even when other system software is set as the default system, the standard PS3™ system software will start if you touch the power button on the system front for more than five seconds when turning on the system.

If instead you get to a screen which has multiple options ("The Recovery Menu"), only use the first option ("Restart System") -- do NOT use "Restore Default Settings" option.
