I talked to MTH today and they sent me a steam chain file (very nice on the phone by the way).  After loading it, problem gone.  I am not sure why the upgrade manual would not mention the need for both the chain file and a sound file.   A bit different then the PS2 upgrades I have done in the past. 

I am sure there are several threads already addressing this very issue, but I really do not think I should have to read a thread for this, it should be mentioned in the manual.  Regardless, really appreciate RJR pointing me in the right direction.

Mike, Normally you do not need to do that as the PS-3 Steam kit should have the proper flash code installed before shipping.  When loading new code the boards will beep until next power up indicating the processor is being updated.  Once the code is installed and sound file loaded, those beeps should not occur anymore.  If they do, it means a section of the EIS memory (controls the processor) as been corrupted during the load.  Some are recoverable with a new flash code load, others require factory reprogramming with factory fixture.  This has been discussed before, but I am sure will continue to occur.    G
