well first make sure that your chip's region is set right...
or you can burn both pal and ntsc versions of autoboot iso template (using regionfrii and then bootme)
And to test if you installed your chip correctly, you can burn a freeloader disc and test it... you should be able to see the usual freeloader effect while you are on the health and warning page...
As an advice, don't ever try to upgrade your system to 3.3 using a disc that contains 3.3 update.. though I doubt if it would actually work...
