Owkay, what to do when you made a typo?
I now get this message during boot time and it keeps repeating itself:

/init: /etc/kboot.conf: 9: Syntax Error: Unterminated quoted string

I forgot my quotes. How can I change the file kboot.conf before it boots?

YOU NEED FW 1.7 in order for this to work!

3. Install the new kernel
rpm -ivh /path/to/kernel-ps3-2.6.16-20070425.ydl.3.ppc64.rpm

4. Edit /etc/kboot.conf
Take your default kernel line, and make a copy of it and then modify
the original line to point to the new kernel.

For example, if your default kernel line is:
ydl='/dev/sda1:/vmlinux-2.6.16-20061110.ydl.2ps3 initrd=/dev/sda1:/initrd-2.6.16-20061110.ydl.2ps3.img root=/dev/sda2 video=ps3fb:mode:3 rhgb'

The new section would like this:
ydl='/dev/sda1:/vmlinux-2.6.16-20070425.ydl.3ps3 initrd=/dev/sda1:/initrd-2.6.16-20070425.ydl.3ps3.img root=/dev/sda2 init=/sbin/init video=ps3fb:mode:3 rhgb'
oldydl='/dev/sda1:/vmlinux-2.6.16-20061110.ydl.2ps3 initrd=/dev/sda1:/initrd-2.6.16-20061110.ydl.2ps3.img root=/dev/sda2 video=ps3fb:mode:3 rhgb'

Where oldydl is your original kernel.

This is what I have trouble with, I have YDL, and the file downloaded, but I am oblivious to how to instyall ANYTHING on linux. plz help

Same. I have the file and everything, but I am new to Linux.

i've a problem. how to edit the kboot.conf. when i edit it and try to save, it say "you are not the owner...." or just edit and go straight to reboot.

You have to be logged in as ROOT admin to be able to make such changes, when it asks you for your name and password at start up, typoe

name: ROOT

password: *type your password here*

And you will be taken to a new session were you will have full control with CMD.

yeh... it's done! now i login with ydl. thamx

Do you have a simple step-by-step guide for idiots who don't understand what to do? I'm today's idiot! lol

Ok, sorry if it already says, but how do I edit it? What program etc.? I have absolutely no idea about these things.

Ok, thanks abg. As long as I have the program and file location for this I'll be fine lol.
