PS3 GRP problems resolved
12/18/07 15:04 , Categories: Gentoo I have resolved the PS3 GRP build problems with some help from the fine folks in #gentoo-desktop. The 32bit GRP is already on the mirrors and the 64bit GRP is being uploaded and should be available within the next few hours.
As a note, XFCE4 and some other packages like subversion, have been removed from the GRP builds because they are shipping as part of the stage4.
Instructions on how to install GRP for the PS3 can be found at http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/cell/wiki/InstallGentooOnPS3

On http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/cell/wiki/InstallGentooOnPS3, there is a small typo in the fstab config.
the line:
none /spu spufs default 0 0
should be changed to:
none /spu spufs defaults 0 0
otherwise any program trying to load SPU code will give an error like:
spu_create() Invalid argument
In the stage4 tarball, the fstab has the correct spufs entry, but has a type in one of the "auto" columns where it says "audo".
Thirdly, the LiveCD should be created with the -J flag (Joliet) for mkisofs, as that will enable the PS3 to correctly read otheros.bld from the CD, if it is placed in PS3/otheros/otheros.bld.
I'm not sure who maintains these packages, but there is no feedback form in the wiki page.

Since you did not cite what stage you were working with, I cannot respond with complete confidence. I fixed the s/default/defaults thing a while back. Are you seeing this with a current stage, something with a Dec 2007 date? Many of the mirrors have stopped mirroring experimental release materials but have not taken the mirrored content off. So there is a fair amount of old media and stages floating around out there.
The auto/audo bit is something catalyst did/does. I'll look into it. Same with the -J suggestion, although I really thought catalyst did pass the -J.
