Thanks for your suggestion, i'll give it another try i'll give an update on if it works
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
I completely cleaned up my ps3: formatted my HDD using my laptop, reinserted it in the PS3, let it install OFW3.55 and formatted it again on ofw3.55 thru in recovery mode.

Then installed Rebug 3.55.2 Otheros++ cfw thru recovery menu and reformatted again just to be sure in recovery mode...

Installed the update package v0.3 and put my ps3 in rebug mode. Installed the boototheros.pkg & reboot.pkg lightyear provided after installing setup_flash_for_otheros.pkg an install_otherOS.pkg, but still the same problem Pertitboot hangs on failed: kexec ...

I'm on a PS3slim CECH2504B

I think that you might have a compatibility problem with your CD and your PS3.

Can you try to install Red Ribbon using a pendrive?

Thanks for your sugeestion ro4drunner. I just tried loading red ribbon from a USB pendrive. same result...

Is there a log-file or some way of monitoring the boot proces?

Can you try to run kexec directly using the next commands?

/usr/sbin/kexec -l --initrd=/var/petitboot/mnt/sr0/live/initrd.img-2.6.38-powerpc64 --append="boot=live config username=ps3 hostname=ps3 ramdisk_size=10240" /var/petitboot/mnt/sr0/live/vmlinux-2.6.38-powerpc64

sync

kexec -e

Yes, you can install it by Synaptic Package Manager or executing the next command:

sudo apt-get install blender

This shouldn't happen right? I did continue with 'sync' and "kexec -e" but then the system hangs...

more suggestions? thx for your help thusfar!

I asked about the issue of RSX driver a few posts back. r04drunner kindly responded to it and I am happy with the answer. But now I see more information coming out about the rsx Linux driver and perhaps another look at it now might be of help. Please see the following thread:

@ro4drunner: i'm really sorry to bother you with noob question, but it's serious problem, i hope you can give solution to make the "create_hdd_region.sh" worked, it's because so many people here can't run that script, with an error code: --8. do you know how is the best way?

[quazza]

Are you running this on a Phat ps3 as there is a different script for them?

Actually just realised its not whether its a Phat its if you have a larger internal HD anyway I used the script from here
as I have a 1TB internal
Cheers

Quazza :D

I think that there is a bug on kexec, but if I could reproduce it, I would attempt to debug using the source code.

You can try AsbestOS v1.4 and a system image file. If it works you will can use Red Ribbon with AsbestOS 2.0.

Yes, I read it, but the updated post confirms that It isn't a true driver, it is a Linux kernel module with the mappings to the RSX.

Sorry, I'm not using the OtherOS++ CFW.

I'm using CFW Kmeaw with a version of the original Graf_chokolo's tools modified by me. I have installed Red Ribbon in 7th vflash region.

Those tools allows you to choose the size to create the reserved space on hdd (8, 16, 24 o 32 GB), but It only works with NOR flash models.
