it is important that you reinstall the otheros.bld from the gameos. Have you done it?

Sorry for late response, I\'ve got it working after reinstall. Thanks!

Please give some more info?
Which firmware are you using? Did it work before?
What happens?

Thanks, gdf


I updated my PS3 from fw 2.0? to fw 2.10 21.dec. After that it do not boot from usb stick anymore. Before my update, it had been chrunching since 2.dec. During this period, I have rebooted some times after playing etc.
Now, no light in LED in usb stick and TV screen is black. PS3 do not seem to boot.
I dl the otheros.bld file from the link above, and overwrote the one on my usbstick. When I try to start PS3 from \"other os\": Still no light in LED in usb stick and TV screen is still black.
My TV (PAL) showed Linux on \"Auto\", 480i and 1080p before the fw update.
I use the HDMI connection.

Coud you try to use this one here?
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/CELL-Linux-CL_20071220-ADDON/PS3/otheros/

Apparently, in 2.10 there was a change in the framebuffer so the display does not work with previous otheros.bld.

If it works we will update the pen drive.

Thanks


Success!!!

Thanks for sorting this out and Merry Christmas!


It did not work for me.
I have EU std 60GB version without any mods. I.e. no Linux on PS3 HD, running from Pendrive.
