Alright, so I was installing Gentoo agian since I messed it up the first time by following different guides, and strictly followed the Cell-Overlay guide and used a graphical livecd. I got through it all easily, and rebooted my PS3. Then Gentoo booted up and I started to get this:

Code:

Mounting Local Filesystems...
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on none, missing codepage


Well, after a while of messing around with Gentoo I had no idea what to do, so I manually started to mount each filesystem one by one, and when I got to the spu filesystem I got the error. In the guide the fstab has this:

Code:

none    /spu    spufs   default    0 0


I assumed that this is what it should be:

Code:

none    /spu    spufs   defaults    0 0


Then I rebooted and everything mounted fine.

Just wanted to make sure that you guys knew (pretty sure you already did). Just delete this if its already been reported. 8)

piratetitan,

Please check bugs.gentoo.org and report it there if its new. The devs don't always read the forums but they do take notice of bug reports

Which guide and which stage?

I used this guide: http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/cell/wiki/InstallGentooOnPS3
and I used stage4 tarbell which I downloaded and a graphical live cd.

This really isn't a bug (since it isn't the system's fault or anything), just a typo in this part of the guide:

The option for the spu part of the fstab should be defaults instead of default.

(I can't remember what the orignal fstab from the installation was, as I just copied and pasted the guide's fstab and hence encountered the problem).

Code:
Given the prior disk partitioning scheme, you need to make sure /etc/fstab reflects the proper device naming. Here is an fstab entry with that assumption in mind:
 /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency).  It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail / tail freely.
#
# The root filesystem should have a pass number of either 0 or 1.
# All other filesystems should have a pass number of 0 or greater than 1.
#
# See the manpage fstab(5) for more information.
#

# <fs>                  <mountpoint>    <type>          <opts>          <dump/pass>

# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/sda1               /               ext3            noatime         0 1
/dev/sda2               none            swap            sw              0 0
/dev/sr0                /mnt/cdrom      iso9660         noauto,ro       0 0
#/dev/fd0               /mnt/floppy     auto            noauto          0 0

# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
proc                    /proc           proc            defaults        0 0

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
#  use almost no memory if not populated with files)
shm                     /dev/shm        tmpfs           nodev,nosuid,noexec     0 0
none    /spu    spufs   default    0 0


I just posted this here to save someone else the trouble of trying to figure out what the problem is, since I'm new to linux and it took me quite a while to figure out what was wrong.
