Hello,
I need some help with installation of linux. Our main goal is getting Windows XP on the console.
We have a PS3 80GB model. HDTV 480p. A wireless mouse and keyboard (works good with ps3 and linux kboot). We have wireless internet but kboot kept telling us "leasefail" and "not found" when trying to load the install_ps3_480i. So we pluged it in using ethernet and voila it let us choose from using the tab key and select our install_ps3_480i. I was worried beacuse we have 480p not 480i but there was not an option for that. So then (still conected to the ethernet and YDL DVD still in console) it loaded up some more text and then said something like, "elf note unknown name terminated" then it switched to a black screen with a cursor blinking in the bottom left corner of the screen, like it wants me to type something but does not let me. I tried to switch it off and on mulitple times and was able to type a few letters in there before it would not let me type. Basically it stops the typing after a set amount of time (2 sec.), or doesn't let me type after it's been sitting a few seconds. So what do I do from there?
Note: I can still switch to ps3 game os and get back to kboot promt in the other os. Just can't get past the black screen with the blinking line.
