Well it appears we have a nasty bug in 5.0.2 where it won't boot after being installed on some PS3s. This bug may be related to 1.82 firmware, but I cannot consistently reproduce the bug so I'm not quite sure. Basically, we are using file system labels to look up what partitions to use and the label query returns an incorrect device.
The details and screenshot are here: http://bugzilla.terrasoftsolutions.com/show_bug.cgi?id=173 -- Now if you're experiencing this bug, here is solution to the problem (it's not proper, but it does indeed work): Boot into rescue mode from kboot... install rescue Once the rescue application has given you a shell, edit /mnt/sysimage/etc/fstab. nano /mnt/sysimage/etc/fstab The default fstab looks like this: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 spufs /spu spufs defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=SWAP-sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0 change it so it looks like this: /dev/ps3da2 / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/ps3da1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 spufs /spu spufs defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/ps3da3 swap swap defaults 0 0 I replaced all LABEL=XXXs with the proper device, this is for a PS3 with default partitioning. If you didn't use the default partition layout, use the appropriate devices for all file system mount points. I'm working a proper solution and will post new ISOs once I've got it sorted out. _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list yellowdog-general@lists.terrasoftsolutions.com http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
