PS2 DTL-T10000 TOOL Help Needed , How to install PS2 Linux ???

Hi!

Just bought a PS2 TOOL , everything is in perfect working order , it boots just fine but i found out that the internal HDD is wiped clean , so there is no linux on it.

I dowloaded the latest PS2 Linux ISO , but ofcourse the TOOL does not read burned discs -__-

So how do intall linux on this TOOL ?? , anyone that can help me with this?

 

First, what model do you have?
Pentium 233 or Celeron?

 

Hi!

I have a original 233 Mhz Pentium ^_^

 

You will have to open the Tool, use the disassembly guide in the sticky threads.
There should be 2 hdds in the Tool, swap the IDE cables and give it a try, it might work...

If you want to restore the original hdd, I have a dump available at http://lorezan.free.fr/toolhdd/
Get toolhdd1.gz and the utilities if you need them (g4u, ftpserv and tftpd32)
I used http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/ to make the dump, read the docs and have fun!

 

Hi

Sorry for the late replay (time-zone difference )

The other HDD is also empty -__- , so i will try to restore the original HDD with your dump but i still don't know how to get those files working because it does not read burned discs...

(sorry i am new at this , never worked with a TOOL before)

 

I believe you use a PC to write the clone image to the PS2 HDD, no burning disks needed.

 

Read the g4u webpage, it's easy to do.

 

Hi Again!

Started to try it again to install Linux on my PS2 TOOL but still can't get it to work , it looks easy in the doc file but i can't get the FTP and DHCP server to work , is there an easier way to do this locally without any server involvement?

Or maybe a stupid question , is it possible to hook up an external CD-rom drive that CAN read burned discs ?

 

You can transfer the dump to the hdd directly using dd and gzip, you'll have to plug the hdd on your computer obviously...

 

Ah , that i can try , thank you , never worked with dd though so i'll have to figure that out first

 

There are a few version of dd for windows such as http://www.chrysocome.net/dd or http://sourceforge.net/projects/windd/
Decompress the .gz somewhere (30GB) and use something like (read the docs) dd if=/yourfile of=/yourhdd bs=1M --progress

 

Another question , on the g4u website doc file , it says that i need to boot g4u on the machine where i need to dump the hdd image.

But how do i boot g4u on the PS2 TOOL ... , can't seem to figure that out.

My PC is running a FTP server now , and i can also try my NAS as an FTP server if my PC server does not work.

 

If you want to use g4u, open the Tool and connect an IDE cd-rom drive or a floppy drive...but it will be slower than connecting the Tool hdd directly to an another computer to transfer the dump.

 

Okay , i understand now , i will try it!

Another question , can the PS2 TOOL also see external USB Floppy drives or CD-rom drives? , i guess not but can't hurt to ask

 

The USB ports on the front are part of the PS2 side, so if you have a PS2 software that supports such USB devices (like the PS2 Linux installed on the external PCMCIA hdd), yes.
The PC side (SBC card where the 1st hdd is connected) doesn't have USB ports and doesn't support booting from the network either, atleast this model doesn't...
Here's the manual: http://lorezan.free.fr/ps2/PCI-586HVE-S-M1.pdf

 

Ah that explains it , that is why the USB ports on the front do not work
Thank you for that manual!

 

Hello i am the new owner of this dtl t1000
I swap ide = it boot on bios . No result
I tried to use original linux beta for ps2 disk. No result
I must dump hdd1 and hdd2. As i can see you did them with g4u.
