I think PBL 1.4.1 does run on kernel 5530. However, my PBL 1.4.1 started locking up one too many times, so I'm back with PBL 1.3.5i.

Edit: I think I'm wrong on the 5530 stuff.

Edit2: Probably not. Here's a thread discussing PBL and kernel 5530.

the ONLY PBL that loaded for me was the old Guexx one,(PBL 1.4.1 by gueux)... the new one thats in xbins now(The one that have "final" in their titles) is all scrambled when I it loads.

Kinda like Gentoox (Linux)
I have an updated copy of all the files needed to run Gentoox, and put them on my new XBOX, and it was scrambled,then not,then scrambled again, then it clears up when the Gentoox login appears.

hmm, go figure.

I found the solution to my problem. It was the dvd dongle that was making it freeze. As soon as I removed it, it ran fine.

Trouble is it never used to do this. Can anyone explain why this is happening?

My phoenix boots fine with a dvd dongle. Only problem is that it hangs at a black screen when the dvd drive is still spinning when pbl starts an dvd dongle is plugged in.

dude there is NO version of pbl (yet) that works with a 5530 kernel.

try screwing around with putting a DVD dongle into different ports
the configuration that always seems to work for me is

Port1: Controller
Port2: Dongle
Port4: Controller

with PBL, you shouldn't have more than 2 devices plugged in (ie, controller or DVD dongle). try it yourself next time it hangs at PBL, just unplug controller/dongle and it will continue to boot.

just adding to what was already said, last night, before i read the post, i figured that the dvd dongle was also making it freeze at the checking usb. i happened to pull out the extra controller and dvd dongle and it booted pbl fine. anyone have a solution? i don't mind taking the dongle out, but if there's a way i don't have to mess w/it i'd definately like that better.
thanks all for this great forum
