Bug Description
After a fresh install of Intrepid on PS3, ps3-kboot fails to automatically find and mount the target partition /dev/ps3da1. The problem can be worked around by using e2label to set the filesystem lable to "/":
e2label /dev/ps3da1 "/"
Once this has been done ps3-kboot correct finds the target partition and the system can be booted.
This used to work in previous versions of Ubuntu for PS3, so something has changed, most likely in the installer.

I don't recall changing anything even somewhat related to partition labels ...
