Alternate Install Discs:
There are alternate (non-live) install CDs available for Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu. They are
located at the following addresses.
● Ubuntu
● Kubuntu
● Xubuntu
NOTE: At this moment there is a bug (Bug 106694) that may leave you at the initramfs prompt instead
of booting into Ubuntu. After installing Ubuntu, at the kboot prompt, type:
/boot/vmlinux initrd=/boot/initrd.img root=/dev/sda1
This will get you booted into Ubuntu. A quick fix for this issue so that you don't have to type the above
command to boot into Ubuntu every time you boot is to go into a terminal session and type the
following.
sudo sed -e 's/sdd1/sda1' -i /etc/kboot.conf
Playing Blu-Ray Films:
It should be possible to play Blu Ray film under Linux in a manner similar to HD DVD (which shares
the same ineffective DRM restrictions).
Known Bugs:
Currently Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Edubuntu Feisty Fawn is still in beta so there will be
numerous issues with running these distros on any system at the moment. Here is a list of known bugs
that affect these distros with the PlayStation 3.
● Bug 102044: Kernel floods log and console with error messages from the card readers.
● Bug 106683: Setup will cause the system to lock up unless you manually configure the system's
partitions.
● Bug 106694: After installing with an alternate CD, you will go no further from the initramfs
prompt unless you type /boot/vmlinux initrd=/boot/initrd.img root=/dev/sda1 at the kboot prompt.
