10. Run script create_hdd_region.sh - rem to CHMOD 755
11. Reboot and boot petitboot again
12. You should see now new HDD device on petitboot, /dev/ps3dd.

How do you reboot into petitboot? by that xmb icon you are talking about? Try the recovery button sequence, it should give you petitboot in stead of the recovery menu...

[r07f1]

before running the reboot program run the boot otheros++
after that you should be in petitboot...

or do what @OoZic said...

Oh and kind on/offtopic glevand sometime ago (when gitbrew server were online) managed to get petitboot running on boot and made a MFW task with that..
Where can i find that task?!

i don't know what went wrong here,

after running the script, i rebooted the ps3, and went into XMB,

from XMB, i choose the reboot pkg, but the screen flashes and stay in XMB

if i try otheros pkg then it boot into petitboot

but there is no linux image to choose, i have my usb root directory the linux image there.

instead the menu online shown additional line which is :
netboot: tftp://root =dev/dev/nfs ip=any nfsroot

what is wrong here?

@xerxesrex if not installing from a CD/DVD you will have to create a bootable usb install
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ <- use this program

hey, the reason this worked is because the copy you got off the internet did not have carriage returns in it. somewhere along the way, carriage return characters got added to line feeds and ash (the shell interpreter) didn't like it. another way to fix this problem is to do this:

# cat create_hdd_region.sh | tr -d "\r" > /tmp/create_hdd_region.sh
# chmod 755 /tmp/create_hdd_region.sh
# . /tmp/create_hdd_region.sh

i see, finally i realized the real culprit is the different format between windows and unix, anyway it seems there is some installation of red ribbon on my machine, the thing just hang half way through the file copy process.

Hi,

If you have problems with the installation using a CD, you can use a USB stick instead. You only must "unpack" the ISO content on a USB stick using Winrar.

You can get more info about it on the "Boots LiveCD from USB pendrive" section at the Red Ribbon wiki.

Hi,

I have published a new update

This update includes the following changes: - Added a 3.6.7 kernel with the Graf_chokolo's, Marcan's and Gitbrew's patches. - Added PS3-utils. - Added Mplayer. You need to connect the PS3 to the internet, open a lxterminal and download the file: wget http://redribbon.t15.org/downloads/online-update-2012-11-21.sh Then, you can execute it: sudo sh online-update-2012-11-21.sh And wait until finished. The next time that you reboot the system, some new kernel options will appear on Petitboot. You must select the new 3.6.7 option for OtherOS or Asbestos. Once you have booted using the new kernel version, if you want to remove the old 3.5.2 kernel versions, you can do it using the Synaptic package manager or executing the next command on a lxterminal: apt-get remove linux-image-3.5.2-red-ribbon-powerpc64-asbestos linux-image-3.5.2-red-ribbon-powerpc64-otheros linux-headers-3.5.2-red-ribbon-powerpc64-asbestos linux-headers-3.5.2-red-ribbon-powerpc64-otheros
