If you don't do this because you think 'oh the otheros.bld is wrapped up in a gzip, i should un wrap before putting it on the stick' you will get told that the otheros.bld is corrupt bt the PS3 software when you try to install the otheros. Took me some time before i worked this out by comparing the size of the otheros.bld.gz downloaded and the otheros.bld on the cd. To those using a Mac to download otheros.bld.gz and running into trouble, this is what you are doing wrong because you've never been told to rename the file. The otheros.bld linked in this article fails to create the ps3da device, so i can't boot off the HDD because it doesn't exist to kboot. The kboot on the cd does make the ps3da device and tries to boot but gets caught by the usb bug.

I have a 60gig ps3, and I could not find any way to install the new 7.10. But when I tried the 7.04 it worked perfectly. I was getting the USB deregistering that made the installer halt. I tried everything suggested on this site and nothing worked. Also I have a newer mac and the file i put on my usb kept giving a data corrupt message when I put it in my ps3. So the .bld file would only load off my cd. That may have been part of the problem. I will try putting that file in with the cd next time and write again if I have any luck.

I think I know how to solve the problem. When you are in PS3 system plug only usb memory stick with otheros.bld, because system loads otheros.bld from cd, which is corrupted. Put CD with Ubuntu after you load otheros from usb memory stick and THEN and set [Settings] > [System Settings] > [Default System] to [Other OS]. Hello! I think I know how to solve the problem.
