I'll format the PS3 again and try with this new disk. Keyboard ... not to sure what to do about that one as no shops with USB Keyboards nearby.... Is it feasible it is the logitech keyboard stopping it working? When I plug it in it is recognised as a Logitech USB.
It's feasible - but not likely though. Still - it was worth a shot to try a friend's keyboard.
By the way - you shouldn't need to format your PS3 again. Just start OtherOS - with the install DVD in the drive - and begin the install. it will format the Linux partition(s) during the YDL install.
Linux can't interfere with the GameOS at all. There a hypervisor - much like on virtual machines (VMWARE) - that prevents Linux from accessing any of the GameOS disc or software.
BTW - you did do the "install otherOS" step from the GameOS before you started the install, right? If you've done it, you don't need to do it again. I'm just making sure all the pieces are in place.
