Ok so I tried linux yellow dog 5.0 and hooked it up to my modem via ethernet cable, waited for the kboot prompt and entered ydltext and error message comes up followed by another kboot prompt i entered installtext and then it said mounting and the the same error message I tried several different downloads and dvds and I noticed that before the kboot prompt the all had an error message. So I tried Ubuntu fiesta 7.0.4 (i think) so I went and installed the bootloader and then an error message comes up saying:

Thanks for your response MidnightJ, but I now have a problem when trying to install Ubuntu. I got the otheros.bld file on a flash drive and installed it on the ps3 and then made otheros the default and then it says:

"cp: read error: input/output error
Ubuntu PS3 KBoot Loader

No default root fs was found, or one was found and it didn't contain a message: config file.

If no rootfs was found you can enter the shell here with 'sh'. Exiting will return you to this prompt. In the shell you can mount your rootfs as /nnt/root/.

Reasons this may have happened include:

- No drive with a rootfs was actually found.
- Your rootfs does not have the correct volume label of "/"
- Your rootfs is corrupt (use the rescue cd to fix this)."

followed by that it has the kboot prompt and i press enter and it just skips a line (I know that the ps3 reads the disc because it comes up as data disc on the ps3 xmb.
So anyway I read both of the tutorials on these and some people had these problems but they fixed them by doing stuff like installtext and restarting which i tried a million times also i tried different cds and dvds and different downloads. So what is wrong here and how can I get libux to work (prefrebly ubuntu)
