install 6.0 on ps3 freezes at keyboard language selection

[Train04]

i will try re-burning the iso to a disk using nero 8

if the problem happens again i will try unpguggin the keyboard but i dont see how its going to make any difference lol

Hi did you finalise the disc I find it sometimes corrupts the data if you do.

well...what happens is, i do everything it says on all the online guides however when the anaconda thing loads it freezes at the keyboard language screen. well i say freezes.....i can still move the mouse however the next button stays pressed and nothing happens

i have tryed the text installer but the screen just goes blue at the same point of pressing next

what can i do to tackle this problem???

I already changed to Logitech NewTouch 200 keyboard and burned a new copy of YDL 6.0 using ImgBurn at 4x but still i faced the same problem on keyboard selection. Even unplug and plugin again also useless in this case. Anyone can help? Is it YDL 6.0 bug or ?

Having exactly the same problem, maybe nothing to do with it but has anybody managed a sucessful install on firmware 2.20?

[uncholowapo]

I have. Must be a bug.

I just installed YDL 6.0 on Firmware 2.20 using 720p and did not have any issues. I was using component out - not HDMI. (Actually component to VGA using my weird adapter.)

Cheers,

i might try reformating the hardrive then start all over again

its a long shot....but it just might work???

[peteb]

Hope you have better luck than I did, exactly the same results

[onni92]

in that case im guna try install ubuntu 7.10

see if that is any better

[onni92]

i got it installed people!!!!!

now the only problem is i cant figure out how to change the resolution to 720p and cant seem to get the wi-fi to work

[peteb]

What did you install, YDL or Ubuntu? I'm assuming Ubuntu based on your last couple of posts and the 720p comment, I'd prefer to get YDL working

[onni92]

installed ubuntu

i would also rather have ydl, but what'cha gonna do!

if i cant fix the wi-fi i will reformat the harddrive again and try installing ydl

I solved this problem on my PS3 already ... and now my YDL 6.0 is running fine juz that having problem on setting 720p fullscreen on my dell 20" monitor

I initially tried to install ubuntu already but somehow has some problem so i go for format my PS3 HDD (Quick format) then before go for ubuntu, I tried my luck again on YDL and select keyboard "UK" and suprisingly everything is working. I do not have experience on linux, but my initial suspect is that when you select keyboard type, even though it is failed but somehow YDL already saved something in the HDD. The reason i said so is due to I did select keyboard type "UK" for more than 20 times but it always failed until I reformat the HDD yesterday.

So to me, if failed on the selection once, better perform a quick format on the HDD and retry on the keyboard selection. Else will forever stucked no matter what keyboard you trying to select.

I hope it helps!

[onni92]

guess what...

i tryed my luck by waiting 3 and a half hours for a
FULL hardrive format

and it is successfully installed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and it is soooo much better than ubuntu!
