Error at performing of create_hdd_region.sh

[deank]

\r\n \r\n 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.
\n
\nHere is a part from my tutorial for cex/dex, which applies in your case:
\n
\nI. PREPARATION
\n
\n * USB required with 1GB free space
\n * Extract the contents of this package to the root folder of your USB drive
\n IMPORTANT:
\n * If your PS3 has NAND flash, remove "dtbImage.ps3.bin" from your USB
\n and rename "NAND-dtbImage.ps3.bin" to "dtbImage.ps3.bin"
\n
\n * Download and extract RedRibbon Linux (steps 13, 14) to the root folder of your USB drive
\n
\n 1. Go to "System Update" and Install OTHEROS-22GB.PUP from USB (provided as \\PS3\\UPDATE\\PS3UPDAT.PUP in this package)
\n 2. When installation is finished, reboot in "Recovery Mode" and choose "Restore PS3 System" (not the Backup/Restore in XMB)
\n * 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.
\n
\n 3. Now 22GB are reserved for OtherOS
\n
\n 4. Install and run setup_flash_for_otheros.pkg
\n
\n 5. Reboot (It\'s important to shut down and turn on your PS3)
\n
\n 6. Install and run install_otheros.pkg (Try different USB ports if you don\'t get any beeps.)
\n 7. Install and run boot_otheros.pkg
\n 8. Install and run reboot.pkg (use the package, do NOT reboot manually)
\n
\n 9. You should be in Petitboot now.
\n
\n 10. Quit to Shell and execute create_hdd_region.sh from your USB:
\n /tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda1/create_hdd_region.sh
\n or /tmp/petitboot/mnt/sdb1/create_hdd_region.sh
\n or /tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda/create_hdd_region.sh
\n or /tmp/petitboot/mnt/sdb/create_hdd_region.sh
\n
\n or mount
\n and look for your USB hdd device in the list and then execute the script (create_hdd_region.sh) from the proper path
\n
\n 11. Reboot your PS3
\n 12. From GameOS run "Reboot" to get into Petitboot again (if not already in Petitboot)
\n
\n 13. Download Red Ribbon: http://sourceforge.net/projects/redr...5.rar/download
\n 14. Extract the rar and extract the ISO in the root of your USB stick/or burn the image to a DVD
\n
\n
\nII. RED RIBBON INSTALLATION
\n
\n 15. Plug in your USB/Insert the disc in your PS3 and you should see 2 different boot options in Petitboot\r\n \r\n

\r\n

\r\n

yes i did and this is what i have done step by step
\n
\n- install/run setup_flash_for_otheros.pkg = get the beeps for proper install
\n- install/run install_otheros.pkg = get the beeps for proper install
\n- install/run boot_otheros.pkg = get the beeps for proper install
\n- install/run reboot.pkg = bootloader is loading
\n- also working: boot the bootloader by using rebug toolbox
\n
\ni 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.
\n
\nin this case i would think it have something to do with the eflasher what causes faults with the usb ports.
