Troubleshooting

• “Not Enough System Memory” error when trying to launch linux:
     
  [1]Make sure you’re on firmware 1.76. The exploits have some hardcoded values that will not work on lower firmwares. You can get the 1.76 update file from psdevwiki here.
     
  [2]If you’re on 1.76 but still have the issue, some people are recommending that you reboot your PS4 before trying again.
     
  [3]Others say you might have to go into safemode: safemode [Initialize PS4 (Reinstall System Software)] with the PS4UPDATE.PUP (RECovery) http://www.sickgaming.net/thread-82957.html
