I´ve downloaded the beta3 IOS version and if I try to open geexbox with no DVD inserted, only the fisrt splash screen opens and the screen turns black halting the whole system. If i insert any DVD, after the fisrt spash screen the dvd light flicker and the second screen (with progress bar) appears and the program goes on opening the menu. I´ve notice that if I turn wii on (even with a DVD inserted) and try to use geexbox, if the dvd light doesn´t flicker, the program halts too.
I´m using homebrew and IOS version of geexbox. (I formatted the SD repeteadly times)

Blue light flickering is the sign of linux booting.

What you describe is probably just another manifestation of the known network initialization bug in HBC, or something very similar.
