Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Fedora 8 test 1/2/3 2. 3. Actual Results: Its not possible install Fedora 8 on PS3 Expected Results: Fedora 8 test 3 running on PS3 Additional info:
Do you have a directory /sys/bus/ps3_system_bus/ ? Or is it called /sys/bus/ps3_system? If the kernel changed the name of the directory in sysfs (as I think it might have done), then perhaps kudzu's ps3.c needs to be changed to cope. Completely untested, and nobody's even confirmed what's currently in sysfs (I'm a few thousand miles from my PS3s): http://david.woodhou.se/kudzu-1.2.77-ps3-detect.patch

This should be fixed in the next build of anaconda.
Tested with new anaconda: anaconda-11.3.0.42-1.ppc.rpm anaconda-runtime-11.3.0.42-1.ppc.rpm Nothing again.
I patched anaconda-runtime-11.3.0.50-1.ppc64.rpm & anaconda-11.3.0.50-1.ppc64.rpm into a Fedora-7.92-ppc-DVD.iso by renaming them anaconda-runtime-11.3.0.36-1.ppc.rpm and anaconda-11.3.0.36-1.ppc.rpm and placing them in the /Packages dir on the iso when I ran the disk with kexec -f --initrd.image.gz --command-line="text" vmlinuz (to get a text mode install so the buttons aren't off my sdtv screen) It said it was starting anaconda 11.3.0.36 (filename? I deleted the package on the disk, yet it started.) when anaconda started it failed to detect the hard disk Kboot seems to mount the disk (although nothing on it). can I send a command line option to vmlinuz to make it go to kboot's /dev/ps3hd? Any help would be appreciated -cabe
