Failed To Load Spufs

[KrimeDaddy]

I installed gentoo on my ps3.

I followed multiple guides.

I used the livecd-ps3-xfce4-20071212-r1.iso

LiveCD + otheros.bld ----------> kboot or XFCE4 running from ISO cd

"installer" didn't work so

I couldn't figure out how to get to a LiveCD root prompt without loading XFCE4

so in XFCE4 i

CTRL ALT F1 and fount a LiveCD prompt YAY!.

but I couldnt umount at the end so I had to start again... :^( (cause I dunno what i doing) (proc and /dev busy )

I couldn't figure out how to get to a LiveCD root prompt without loading XFCE4 so I hit "1" "l" for interactive startup

and I told it not to start XFCE4, gnome, x window, or any other gui i know about

and I got a LIVECD # prompt YAY !

I followed instructions for install.

I made sure to change none /spu spufs defaultS 0 0 in the /etc/fstab

(at least I have a 720p gentoo xfce4 mouse gui without the liveCD BUT

but while booting I get one big red !

FAILED TO LOAD SPUFS

I am sure I dont want to start learning anything else about packages and flags etc so on and so forth until I figure out how I messed this up.

Thank you for your help.

did my install a little bit different (i kinda sorta know what I'm doing...it was hell getting rid of all the packages I didn't need like xfce and updating everything else to ~ppc64 with insane CFLAGS...yah I'm a ricer and proud of it...). But yah I get the same message and I have no idea what I did wrong (or even if it was something I did). Any help on rectifying the problem would be much appreciated.

Ok I fixed the problem I think...if a dev takes a look he'll probably point out something I did wrong or wasn't suppose to do...

WARNING THIS MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU AND MAY EVEN BRAKE YOUR SYSTEM! MY GENTOO HARDLY RESEMBLES WHAT THE STAGE4 TARBALL INSTALLED ORIGINALLY ANYMORE (its more like a horrible amalgam of gentoo, LFS, my own code, some friends code, and overlays you probably haven't even heard of).

1. Use layman to add the toolchain overlay (I don't know if you actually have to do this)
2. Edit /etc/portage/package.keywords with your favorite text editor
3. add:
sys-devel/gcc **
sys-libs/newlib (don't know if this is actually required)
sys-devel/binutils ** (don't know if this is actually required)
sys-devel/patch (don't know if this is actually required)
4.Edit /etc/portage/package.unmask with your favorite text editor
5. add:
sys-devel/gcc
6. Edit /etc/make.conf with your favorite text editor
7. add:
I_PROMISE_TO_SUPPLY_PATCHES_WITH_BUGS=1
8. emerge binutils && emerge gcc
9. Use gcc-config to set the compiler to gcc-4.3.0
10. Edit /etc/make.conf
11. Change your CFLAGS to:
-mcpu=cell -mabi=altivec -maltivec -mspe (I didn't know if this should be specified or not but it has not broken my system) -O2 (and whatever else cflags you like...don't get angry at me if you screw up your system)
12. emerge -e system && emerge -e world (you may want to specify options such as --deep and --update)
13. crossdev --g 4.3.0_alphawhatever --b 2.18-r1 spu-elf (I think this is what worked for me a when I did this but I've seen this step expressed many different ways online and don't remember if I used the one specified on gentoo-wiki so it may not work for you...best ask a dev what the proper step is here)
14. Edit /etc/portage/package.keywords with your favorite text editor
15. add:
sys-libs/libspe
sys-libs/libspe2
16. emerge libspe && emerge libspe2
17. rc-update add elfspe default
18. /etc/init.d/elfspe start
19. Edit /etc/fstab
20. add:
none /spu spufs defaults 0 0
21. mkdir /spu
22. Use layman to add the cell overlay
23. use the .config in /etc/kernel and rebuild your kernel
24. do all of the edits needed for kboot to boot your new kernel
25. reboot
26. ????
27. PROFIT!!!

I have the same problem (spufs fails to load)
but I don't want to go through these 27 not so sure steps

thx
