Attempt to reinstall the firmware.
Did all the steps now I just get a black screen when I click reboot into otherOS.
Edit: it didn't recognize my usb and after a reboot it worked however I got the same kernal paging request error as before, it also would not let me change directories to the specified directory for NOR ps3s, tbh I don't really know what to say since I re-downloaded the entire package and reinstalled everything (formatted the ps3 twice to make sure). I hope there is some sort of solution for this besides reinstalling everything again and hoping for the best, I must be the most unlucky person following this tutorial.
Edit 2: I managed to enter the commands before it froze, however when I went back to the main bootscreen to try to load the live cd it froze before I could do so, I will test it one more time and try to see if I can now load and install the OS. I wish I could find out how to solve this problem.
Edit 3: Managed to load up red ribbon linux, have not installed it yet since I don't know whether the console was able truly partition the drive.
Edit 4: "The resulting partition is not aligned for the best performance." I'm just going to have to reinstall everything again and try for the best.
Edit 5: I just got it to begin installing the system, hopefully it works and I will just have to deal with petitboot constant freezing because I already reinstalled it once with completely freshly downloaded files and it still has that error, if their rlly is a fix for it I will reinstall it completely (should it succeed). I know I didn't make any errors while doing this tutorial, I followed all the steps, so for now I will just live with that stupid error though and just leave petitboot as quickly as possible.
Edit 6: successfully installed the system, hopefully I can deal with that error for now until I can find a solution to it.
Edit 7: does anyone know how to get the wifi working on this thing? Does it have wifi support?
