YDL 5.0 - PS3 Install Error

[ryan-mary]

Thanks for everyones input!

I downloaded the .iso again and burned the DVD on a different machine.  I
got the install to work correctly this time, although I had to use the text
based install - my tv doesn't support 720p only 480 & 1080i.  Finally got it
to boot in graphical mode.  I am tweaking it now - trying to get fonts to be
readable at 1080i.

Once again, thanks to all.

Also, see if there's some way to verify that you burned the disc correctly.
It's been so long since I burned a DVD that I've forgotten if there's an
easy
way to do it in Toast, X-CD-Roast, K3b, etc.  But that's the other variable
in the equation, along with the case of the drive itself being flaky.

I always check the md5sum before burning an .iso, and I never burn a CD
without verifying it.
