Description of problem:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2007-August/msg00129.html

(not original poster, but same issue)

Basically cannot install Fedora 8 Test 1 on PS3 because it could not detect
storage device to install to.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora 8 Test 1 ppc64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Geoff Levand's otheros.bld (kboot):
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/CELL-Linux-CL_20070516-ADDON/PS3/otheros/otheros.bld

2. Burn F8T1 DVD ISO
3. Boot PS3 with F8T1 DVD ISO
4. Proceed with installation
  
Actual results:

Anaconda could not detect storage device to install Fedora to

Expected results:

Anaconda to be able to detect storage device (HD on PS3) and continue with
installation
Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2007-08-16 15:27:16 UTC 
All of the ps3 drivers changed and broke our probing.  I think this should be
fixed in rawhide, but the PS3 we have for testing is out being used for demos so
can't actually try
Comment 2 Bernard Li 2007-08-16 17:00:17 UTC 
Since I have a PS3 available, is it possible for me to test rawhide prior to the
release of Fedora 8 Test 2?
