April 5th 2008 - First real install attempt (screenshots)

System.Console.WriteLine("hi") ;

This are the screenshots of the first attempt of having installed the PlayStation 2 Linux
into my SCPH-50001 US console

I had the problem of double characters when typing (whenever I wanted to type the ls command it appeared sometimes as lss and others as llss, it was fine until I wanted to enter root password 'CAUSE I COULDN'T WROTE TWO EQUAL PASSWORDS.




The Gear




The Dell USB keyboard (I'm mad at it for the double character stuff)




The Linux for PlayStation 2 DVD box




Both DVD look nice in the ps2



PS2 Linux installer (anaconda) welcome screen




System template selector




Partition tool selector




No partitions in /dev/hda




root partition settings




swap partition settings




Partitions layout in /dev/hda




Warning: The changes made to disk will be written




Partition format selection screen




Hostname prompt




Network configuration screen (I used DHCP)




Time zone selection screen


So far everithyng was working on rails
(some minor delay issues when doing alt+F2 to bring up tty2 and typing some command)
until...



root password prompt screen




The passwords you entered were different. Please try again


And if the problem is ONE keyboard doesn't function with the playstation 2...


..why not having THREE ...xD



Alright it was a bad idea after all, kernel got mad at me for the 3 kbd thing
lol


(And then I got stuck in that screen until I decided to put a Resident Evil to "calm" my pain)
lol
