[yellowdog-announce] OtherOS functionality removed April 1st in PS3 firmware 3.21 -- addendum

[Announce List for all Fixstars Solutions products (moderated)]

Yellow Dog Linux Enthusiasts,

If you upgrade to the new PS3 firmware (version 3.21), you will not be
able to access the Yellow Dog Linux partition on the PS3 hard disk.

For those PS3 users who are currently using the “Other OS” feature but 
choose to install the system software update, to avoid data loss they 
first need to back-up any data stored within the hard drive partition 
used by the “Other OS,” as they will not be able to access that data 
following the update.

PS3 owners who have further questions or concerns about Linux and their
PS3 should contact Sony Consumer Services:
