(oddly enough, "eject /dev/sg0" works, though dmesg shows ioctl errors, so I suspect that's just eject having raw-scsi low-level support. At least confirms that it's talking to the hardware, but...)

Mine says 302R, but I did have problems with August's alternate installers..

Edit: I only had trouble with Karmic Alternate, not with Intrepid or Jaunty.

A friend of mine just checked his 80G that he installed 9.04 on:

Code:

Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: SONY     Model: PS-SYSTEM   304R Rev: 5055
  Type:   CD-ROM                           ANSI  SCSI revision: 00

(Slightly higher drive-firmware rev, and it worked just fine with the 9.04 installer; he's going to try karmic too, just to check.)

And I just took the base ps3 firmware rev (3.0 "OMG SPARKLY") and now mine also says 304R 5055, so that pretty much eliminates drive firmware rev as the issue.

Same friend points out that today's 9.10 doesn't work for him either. Sounds like my next step is
[list=]
[*]install 9.04
[*]set up a kernel build tree
[*]try git-bisect on it...
[/list]

Anybody know why the Desktop builds went away?

Or even better... wait! The 20090923 Karmic installer finds the drive just fine, on the same machine I've had the earlier problems on...

There are no desktop builds because they won't work on the PS3

.

By the way Eichin, where else are you going to post this? I'm pretty sure people will be able to find your original post without any trouble

Im having the cant detect CD error to. Anyone have a link to the 20090923 release? Only last 2 days releases seems to still be on the page, maybe a torrent or something?

Or has someone figured out how to fix it manually somehow?

I'm getting really tired of no successful installs for PS3 Ubuntu/Xubuntu yet under 9.10. I am going to download and install the build from today when I get home:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/ports/daily/20090928/

Would anyone else please try the same so we can compare our results?
