As you can read from the last message in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=619236
I don't have a PS3 to test patches on but I looked at the last bits
missing for a successful installation, TBH more to learn something about
d-i than for anything else.

Anyhow, if anyone is willing to test the changes I will spend some more
time to send proper patches to d-i.

Ciao,
   Antonio

 If the PS3 needs some special partitioning (it's been a while since I 
 upgraded my PS3 to something that can't run Linux anymore, so I don't 
 remember) then I would suggest a partman module.
 
 If not, I guess finish-install is the best place to do it.
 

I had some minutes to spare and I looked a little further into this;
I think we could use pkgsel along with archdetect for this: the latter
is in the hw-detect[1] package, which uses libdebian-installer[2].

It looks like archdetect knows about the PS3 already[3], so maybe it can
be called in pkgsel[4], like done for laptop-detect[5], hopefully
something like the following may be enough:

--- [d-i/pkgsel.git]/pre-pkgsel.d/20kboot-utils ---
#!/bin/sh

set -e

# Install kboot-utils on PS3
case $(archdetect) in
powerpc/ps3)
apt-install kboot-utils || true
;;
esac
---

Unfortunately I don't know the exact output of archdetect on the PS3 as I don't
have mine anymore.

If anyone can provide the output of archdetect (is it only available
while installing?) I can send a patch to pkgsel.

Thanks,
   Antonio

Bug#619236: RFS: kboot-utils (resend) -- needed for d-i to complete on PS3

2011-10-11 Thread Antonio Ospite
Hi Debian Mentors and Debian PPCers,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package kboot-utils, it is needed
to make debian-installer complete a successful installation on
PlayStation3. I am also the upstream author.

* Package name: kboot-utils
  Version : 0.2
  Upstream Author : Antonio Ospite osp...@studenti.unina.it
* URL : http://git.ao2.it/kboot-utils.git/
* License : GPLv3
  Programming Lang: Posix shell
  Description: Helper tools to automatically generate a kboot.conf file 
from entries in /boot.

The kboot.conf file can be read by the petitboot bootloader which is
used for instance on the Sony PlayStation 3 in OtherOS mode in
order to list kernels to boot.

It builds the binary package: kboot-utils

The package can be downloaded with dget using this command:

  dget -u http://ao2.it/debian/kboot-utils_0.2-1.dsc

The source package can be found in the 'debian' branch at:
  
  http://git.ao2.it/kboot-utils.git/

The package has been tested with pbuilder, checked with lintian,
verified to be piuparts-clean.

As I was saying this package is needed to have a 100% working
installation on the PlayStation3, for details look at Bug #619236:

  http://bugs.debian.org/619236

you can also read on the wiki that as for now kboot.conf needs to
be created by hand:

  http://wiki.debian.org/PS3#Debian_installer

The plan is to first have kboot-utils in the official archive and then
make d-i install it when machine==PS3.

Thanks,
   Antonio

Hi Debian Mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package kboot-utils, it is needed
to make debian-installer complete a successful installation on
PlayStation3. I am also the upstream author.

* Package name: kboot-utils
  Version : 0.1
  Upstream Author : Antonio Ospite osp...@studenti.unina.it
* URL : http://git.ao2.it/kboot-utils.git/
* License : GPLv3
  Programming Lang: Posix shell

It builds the binary package: kboot-utils

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  http://bugs.debian.org/641465

The package can be downloaded with dget using this command:

  dget -u http://ao2.it/debian/kboot-utils_0.1-1.dsc

The source package can be now found in the 'debian' branch at:
  
  http://git.ao2.it/kboot-utils.git/

please keep in mind that I am still learning how to deal with
git-buildpackage.

The package has been tested with pbuilder, checked with lintian,
verified it is piuparts-clean, but there might very well still be
something worth fixing.

I packaged kboot-utils (Helper tools to generate a kboot.conf file) for
debian, and I'd like to ask if someone can *review* the package and 
maybe eventually sponsor me for upload to the main archive.
At the end of the day it will be needed to have a 100% working
installation on the PlayStation3, see Bug #619236:

  http://bugs.debian.org/619236

The plan is to first have kboot-utils in the official archive and then
make d-i install it when machine==PS3.

 I encountered the same problems as Antonio.  Once the installer

 a tty console:
 
   echo 'linux=/boot/vmlinux initrd=/boot/initrd.img root=/dev/ps3da1'

 -Geoff

Hi,

I've gone a little bit further on this: I started to put together a
kboot-mkconfig script (shamelessly copied from grub-mkconfig) along
with an update-kboot and some kernel install hooks, you can find it
here:

http://git.ao2.it/kboot-utils.git/

You can build the package with dpkg-buildpackage -tc.

The idea is to have d-i to install this kboot-utils package when
machine==PS3, and let the postinst script of the package generate
the kboot.conf for us, but I haven't got that far yet.

The main concern is about how to detect the actual device the rootfs is
going to be on, right now I am doing:
LINUX_ROOT_DEVICE=$(mount | grep ' / ' | cut -d ' ' -f 1)

and my current understanding is that this is going to work even from
the installer because d-i would be calling apt in a chroot /target
context when installing the kboot-utils package, but I'd like to have
some confirmation about that.

And a review about the state of the package will be appreciated too.

With Kind Regards,
   Antonio

Comments/Problems:

Hi,

the installation on PS3 now completes pretty fine, however there are 
still some details that could be improved.

The installer warns about the boot loader not being installed, which is 
fine, I already had the 'petitboot' bootloader installed, but some 
configuration is still needed to make the system actually boot _after_ 
the installation.

petitboot needs a /etc/kboot.conf in the root filesystem with this 
content to successfully boot the installed system:

linux=/boot/vmlinux initrd=/boot/initrd.img root=/dev/ps3da1 quiet

On my installation the / mount point is for /dev/ps3da1, and /boot is on 
the same partition, but a script like the following can be used to 
figure these things out after the installation:

[ BEGIN build_kboot.conf.sh ]---
#!/bin/sh

ROOTFS=$(mount | grep ' / ' | cut -d ' ' -f 1)
OLD_CMDLINE=$(cat /proc/cmdline | sed -e 's/root=[^[:space:]]*\s//')

CMDLINE=root=$ROOTFS $OLD_CMDLINE

find /boot -type f -name vmlinu* |
while read file;
do
  VERSION=$(echo $file | cut -d '-' -f 2- );
  echo -n $VERSION=$file;
  echo -n  initrd=/boot/initrd.img-$VERSION;
  echo -n  $CMDLINE
  echo
done
[ END build_kboot.conf.sh ]---

Can the /etc/kboot.conf file be created by the installer automatically 
when the system is a PS3? (Ideally kboot.conf should be recreated after 
each kernel install).

Also, can the installer be told to install the ps3-utils package
automatically when the system is a PS3?

It looks like these system dependent configurations are done in 
hw-detect, I'll try to provide a patch for these, but some guidance will 
be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

and the actual bootstrap command is:

log-output -t debootstrap run-debootstrap --components-main \
  --debian-installer --resolve-deps wheezy /target file:///cdrom/

As a workaround, if the file:///cdrom/ argument is removed the installation
completes fine, but I guess that is just because the installer is downloading
everything from the net, right?

Any idea of what is going on?

Bug#615188: debian-installer: Cannot install on PS3, ps3disk module is missing

2011-02-26 Thread Antonio Ospite
Package: linux-kernel-di-powerpc-2.6
Severity: important
Tags: d-i

Hi,

the combination of commits
fc547e8b0aab83d951ebd20331e7e578245affc7
aa22fe7d6b1d8730f1ae436eb85307d9f1263d75 and
1de334cd0c02cc71a424b747134125f1c95d1d43

made ps3disk completely disappear, these magic tricks can happen when a
commit message and the actual change do not match :)

To read the funny story:
  $ git log --grep=ps3 --reverse -p

Can you please add that module back, it should go in
modules/powerpc-powerpc64/scsi-extra-modules, shouldn't it? As it is
needed for installing on PS3, but not for booting the installer; did I
got right the difference between scsi-extra-modules and scsi-modules?

Thanks,
   Antonio Ospite
