After you created the 22GB partition did you use "setup_flash_for_otheros.pkg" so it can prepare the stuff for create_hdd_region.sh? It requires that you have "dtbImage.ps3.bin" on the USB (for NOR console) so it can mount the filesystem where "ps3hvc_hvcall" is.

Here is a part from my tutorial for cex/dex, which applies in your case:

I. PREPARATION

* USB required with 1GB free space
* Extract the contents of this package to the root folder of your USB drive
IMPORTANT:
* If your PS3 has NAND flash, remove "dtbImage.ps3.bin" from your USB
and rename "NAND-dtbImage.ps3.bin" to "dtbImage.ps3.bin"

* Download and extract RedRibbon Linux (steps 13, 14) to the root folder of your USB drive

1. Go to "System Update" and Install OTHEROS-22GB.PUP from USB (provided as \PS3\UPDATE\PS3UPDAT.PUP in this package)
2. When installation is finished, reboot in "Recovery Mode" and choose "Restore PS3 System" (not the Backup/Restore in XMB)
* To go to "Recovery Menu" turn-off the PS3, press and hold the power button, you will hear ONE beep, then 2 beeps - release the button.

3. Now 22GB are reserved for OtherOS

4. Install and run setup_flash_for_otheros.pkg

5. Reboot (It's important to shut down and turn on your PS3)

6. Install and run install_otheros.pkg (Try different USB ports if you don't get any beeps.)
7. Install and run boot_otheros.pkg
8. Install and run reboot.pkg (use the package, do NOT reboot manually)

9. You should be in Petitboot now.

10. Quit to Shell and execute create_hdd_region.sh from your USB:
/tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda1/create_hdd_region.sh
or /tmp/petitboot/mnt/sdb1/create_hdd_region.sh
or /tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda/create_hdd_region.sh
or /tmp/petitboot/mnt/sdb/create_hdd_region.sh

or mount
and look for your USB hdd device in the list and then execute the script (create_hdd_region.sh) from the proper path

11. Reboot your PS3
12. From GameOS run "Reboot" to get into Petitboot again (if not already in Petitboot)

13. Download Red Ribbon: http://sourceforge.net/projects/redr...5.rar/download
14. Extract the rar and extract the ISO in the root of your USB stick/or burn the image to a DVD


II. RED RIBBON INSTALLATION

15. Plug in your USB/Insert the disc in your PS3 and you should see 2 different boot options in Petitboot

thanx for your reply

..., After you created the 22GB partition did you use "setup_flash_for_otheros.pkg" so it can prepare the stuff for create_hdd_region.sh?

yes i did and this is what i have done step by step

- install/run setup_flash_for_otheros.pkg = get the beeps for proper install
- install/run install_otheros.pkg = get the beeps for proper install
- install/run boot_otheros.pkg = get the beeps for proper install
- install/run reboot.pkg = bootloader is loading
- also working: boot the bootloader by using rebug toolbox

i am also able to get access via telnet and see all things which are mounted (copy & paste the output of my terminal again)

did i am right to interpret this that for some reason my usbstick will be recognized but there is no access possible.

in this case i would think it have something to do with the eflasher what causes faults with the usb ports.
