Comment:

I got this error after switching the default OS to Linux then restarted, it then show's a black screen with a flashing - and then shows this message:

Ubuntu PS3 KBoot Loader:

No default root fs was found, or one was found and it did not 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 happend 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).

What do I do to get past this and into Linux?

Please help me.

"Yes. Insert the Ubuntu PS3 disc before entering the Kboot menu.

Type in boot-game-os to return to your PS3.

Then, shut your PS3 down and insert the Ubuntu PS3 CD.

Once the disc is in your PS3, go to the Other OS (Kboot Menu) and hit enter on your keyboard. Don't insert the disc at the Kboot menu or else it will not detect it.

It should say something about Kernal then switch to a new screen.

Once your onto the Ubuntu desktop, there is a install icon which you use to install it on your PS3 hardrive for much faster load times.

Hope this helps.

STEP-BY-STEP.

1. Type in boot-game-os in the Kboot menu. To return to the PS3 menu.
2. Insert the PS3 Ubuntu CD in your PS3 menu.
3. Go to the Kboot menu with the CD inserted.
4. Hit enter."

"While you are in the Ubuntu Desktop follow these steps!

Once the system is up and running from the disc, you may choose to install Ubuntu permanently. There is a bug which halts the installation at 15%. To avoid this you need to terminate some running services and processes.
open System > Administration > Services.
Uncheck everything except the CPU frequency manager (powernowd), Graphical login manager (gdm) and System communication bus (dbus).
Open System > Administration > System Monitor. Select the Processes tab.
Kill all processes on the list (right click > Kill Process). The ones that are necessary for the system to install will automatically restart or refuse to be terminated.
