On http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/cell/wiki/InstallGentooOnPS3, there is a small typo in the fstab config.

the line:
none /spu spufs default 0 0
should be changed to:
none /spu spufs defaults 0 0

otherwise any program trying to load SPU code will give an error like:
spu_create() Invalid argument

In the stage4 tarball, the fstab has the correct spufs entry, but has a type in one of the "auto" columns where it says "audo".

Thirdly, the LiveCD should be created with the -J flag (Joliet) for mkisofs, as that will enable the PS3 to correctly read otheros.bld from the CD, if it is placed in PS3/otheros/otheros.bld.

I'm not sure who maintains these packages, but there is no feedback form in the wiki page.

Since you did not cite what stage you were working with, I cannot respond with complete confidence. I fixed the s/default/defaults thing a while back. Are you seeing this with a current stage, something with a Dec 2007 date? Many of the mirrors have stopped mirroring experimental release materials but have not taken the mirrored content off. So there is a fair amount of old media and stages floating around out there.

The auto/audo bit is something catalyst did/does. I'll look into it. Same with the -J suggestion, although I really thought catalyst did pass the -J.
