Attempts to install YDL 5.0

Well I burned the ISO to DVD, copied the otheros files, bought a USB mouse and keyboard, printed out the instructions to read right in front of my PS3.

I formatted my HDD, installed the otheros files, plugged in my USB keyboard and mouse, restarted my PS3 with the YDL disc inserted. Saw the 2 penguins, I saw the flood of code...and then that's when the fecal matter hit the fan.

I recieved the "loop"...I unplugged the mouse...nothing changed, I unplugged the keyboard and it stopped. Ok so it's my keyboard...that's fine i'll just leave it unplugged and follow the instructions again.

Wait...every time I try and hold the PS3 controller button the LED lights just flash...constanty and it does nothing. I plug in the USB cable and try again...still nothing. I hold the power button for 5 seconds, a beep and then it shuts down. Thank goodness. I hold the PS button down with the cable plugged in...and nothing. Well crap...ok, so I turn it on manually. Yay it powers on, but there are those 2 damn penguins again. I hold the PS button down for 10 seconds...nothing. The YDL just keeps trying to install itself, then I see the kboot, then I see it again...and again, and guess what? That's right, I see it again.

So I power it down and go to the only site I know that can answer my calls for help. What the hell is wrong with the PS3?!
I know the keyboard wasn't compatible, I read about that and tried to get a different one, but all my keyboards are PS/2, and my local WalMart doesn't have adapters and everywhere else is closed. How the deuce do I get back to the GameOS? Or is my PS3 decommissioned until I get a compatible keyboard and complete installation of YDL? :-}

The controller doesnt work in YDL. Turn the main power switch off, then turn back on and hold the power down for around 5 seconds until it beebs.

Awesome! Thanks for the help YDL97!

I purchased a PS/2 to USB adapter and i'll use my old Vaio mouse and keyboard and hole it'll work lol.
But if it doesn't i'm sure i'll be posting more about it here

Double post yes I know. But no one ever reads this anyway i'm sure

I found a compatible keyboard I believe...i'm assuming that since it allows me to type after displaying "kboot".

I reformatted my HDD again, installed the otheros.bld, plugged my keyboard and mouse in, and inserted the YDL install DVD. Restarted the PS3 with the default OS set to Other and saw the 2 penguins. The flood of code shows up, but no loop this time. Instead it always displays "cannot locate VRS" a couple times, then about 5 or 6 lines of more code and turns my TV blue and does jack shyte. WTF is wrong with this install anyway?

Am I missing something here?

*edit*
NEVERMIND!....I figured it out. I knew I read about it somewhere but nowhere in the guide that I have said that after seeing the kboot I have to tab until I see the "installtext". In the process of installing it now.

lol
