RE: Unkown server

[georid]

I am attempting to install ydl 6.0 on my ps3. When the kboot prompt is displayed, I get an error message that reads unknown server. I also have tried typing install_ps3_ followed by 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480i. I have also tried typing ps3-boot-game-os and have just clicked on the enter button. Does anyone have a fix for this problem?

Why 6.0? Most of us are using 6.1 or 6.2 now - there are performance advantages for the PS3 with these later versions.

Anyway - the first thing to do is verify your ISO download with SHA1SUM. For the YDL 6.0 ISO, the SHA1SUM value should be:

Code: Select all

f0862b7442e2f38bd01039ab6a6e28db84fe5ded  yellowdog-6.0-DVD_20080207.iso

More SHA1SUM values are here:

a quick HOWTO is here:

Note: For YDL 6.0, you should be using this ISO: yellowdog-6.0-DVD_20080207.iso

Another thing to check is how you burned the disc. Make sure you created the disc FROM the ISO, and didn't just burn the ISO to disc. (i.e. the disc should have multiple files - not 1 .ISO file.)

We recommend a program called IMGBURN for Windows users. It seems to work pretty well. Instructions are here:
