2.) is the 480i seting for normal televisions or for HD televisions?
thanks-rob
Hmm - interesting. Did you actually create a Linux partition before you did the install? That is, from the PS3 GameOS side, did you repartition and format your drive? Also - do you have any USB drives plugged in? They might confuse the boot process. Try unplugging any memory cards or USB external drives and rebooting.
Another question: did you do any post editing of /etc/yaboot.conf after installation? That might cause this too.
Finally - the 480i setting is generally for normal televisions. HD would normally be 720p, 1080i, etc.
Cheers,
