Description Kazunori Asayama 2007-11-14 04:05:55 UTC
Description of problem:

  The ps3pf-utils in ppc64-utils package is obsolete and no longer works with
the recent kernels.

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

  ppc64-utils-0.12-3.fc8

How reproducible:

  always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run 'ps3-boot-game-os'

Actual results:

# ps3-boot-game-os
ls: cannot access sd*: No such file or directory
Usage:
  other-os-flash-util [-b|-B] [-g|-r] flash_device [boot_loader_img]
  other-os-flash-util -s flash_device
  other-os-flash-util -d flash_device

Options:
  -s   show current settings
  -d   print difference of clock time between game os and linux
  -b   change boot flag : boot game os
  -B   change boot flag : boot linux
  -g   change boot loader format flag : compressed by gzip
  -r   change boot loader format flag : not compressed
ERROR: can't change boot flag


Expected results:

  The system is rebooted and switches to the game OS.

Additional info:

  The latest version is available at:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geoff/ps3-utils.git

  and it should work.

>Steps to Reproduce:

It's a typo. The obsolete version is 'boot-game-os', rather than 'ps3-boot-game-os'.
