Description of problem: The F9 installer misses PLAYSTATION3's internal hard disk drive, so we can't install F9 onto the internal drive. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): - F9 Alpha - rawhide 2008.02.04 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert an optical disc of the F9 installer into PS3. 2. Boot PS3. 3. Boot the installer (e.g. type 'linux video=720p' on kboot prompt). 4. Follow the installer's instruction. Actual results: /dev/ps3da doesn't appear in the list of target drives. Expected results: /dev/ps3da appears in the list. Additional info:
We use hal for device detection now and hal doesn't see the ps3 disks based on what I remember Jesse saying last week.
Please attach output of 'tree /sys'.
Created attachment 295128 [details] output of 'tree /sys'
Created attachment 295129 [details] output of 'tree -if /sys' Indentation of 'tree /sys' seems to be broken, so I also attach output of 'tree -if /sys'.
(In reply to comment #3) > Created an attachment (id=295128) [edit] > output of 'tree /sys' I did this with the installation DVD-ROM of F9 Alpha.
FYI support for this was already committed upstream; it'll land in Fedora once I get around to putting new packages in. http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=hal.git;a=commitdiff;h=75a9042c1e31da76b7c448dc921d6dc744ca9a86
Confirmed fix, an install of rawhide to the PS3 worked.
