LiveCD does not boot on PlayStation 3
Last modified: 2013-01-09 23:27:11 EST
Description of problem: The PPC LiveCD does not boot on PlayStation 3 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC8 test 3 How reproducible: every boot Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download and burn the LiveCD to a CD for the PPC platform. 2. Select to boot the PS3 to OtherOS. 3. Insert the disk and boot the PS3. 4. Petitboot recognized the yaboot.conf. Select either the "linux" or "check" boot option. Actual results: When either of the boot options is selected, the PS3 turns off, beeps rapidly three times, and blinks the power indicator LED. Expected results: Boot Linux Additional info: Using the Petitboot loader. Have not tried other bootloaders or other PS3s. YDL, Gentoo, and Ubuntu have been installed on this PS3 before.
The ppc liveCD is ppc32 only because ppc32 and ppc64 kernels can't be installed at the same time due to conflicting files. As the ps3 is a ppc64 machine, this kernel does not support it
Hello, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am closing this NOTABUG as per comment #1. LiveCD's with ppc64 kernels may be created with livecd-tools and other components. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/LiveCDHowTo Cheers Chris
No, this is a bug. To support livecds being sanely like the rest of our ppc support, the kernels need to be parallel installable.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
