It looked like that this problem had the same cause, so I tried the fix for F8 attached to the Bug #389331 then it also resolved this problem in rawhide. |
Description of problem: The PLAYSTATION 3 fails booting when: - root partition is located on the internal hard disk drive and, - the root partition is *NOT* an LVM, because: - initrd doesn't contain PS3 specific storage drivers, i.e. ps3stor_lib, ps3disk, and, - mkrootdev command of nash (maybe) can't handle the PS3 disk device (/dev/ps3d*) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mkinitrd-6.0.39-1.fc9.ppc (F9 Beta) How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert F9 Beta install DVD into PS3. 2. Run installer in text mode (PS3 doesn't have enough memory for GUI installer). 3. Choose 'Create custom layout' in 'Partitioning Type', and create the root partition on /dev/ps3da in 'Partitioning' page. 4. Choose 'Customize software selection' in 'Package selection' page, and disable 'Hardware Support' in the 'Package Group Selection' page (to avoid anaconda's problem #437993). 5. Finish installation and reboot. Actual results: (quiet option is disabled) ... Creating root device. Mounting root filesystem. mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root' Setting up other filesystems. Setting up new root fs setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory Mount failed for selinuxfs on /selinux: No such file or directory Switching to new root and running init. unmounting old /dev unmounting old /proc unmounting old /sys switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory Booting has failed. Expected results: PS3 can mount the root filesystem on /dev/ps3d*. Additional info: If the root partition is an LVM, PS3 can boot normally. By adding the PS3 specific storage drivers to the initrd, and modifying "root=" kernel option to specify the root device explicitly (e.g. "root=/dev/ps3da1") by hand, PS3 becomes to be able to boot.
