Thanks for all the replies. Steve, I think you were the only one though that took note that I have a powerpc not an intel based computer. So no flasher 2.0 or 3.0. Since 0xFFFF can't yet flash a FIASCO image I ended up unpacking the pieces for OS2007 and then separately installed them. That worked fine except for the piece called "2nd". Don't know what 2nd does and so far I haven't noticed a problem. As far as the beta for OS2008 I get this error when trying to unpack it: Dumping firmware pieces to disk. Fiasco version: 2 Name: OSSO UART+USB Name: 1 RX-34_2008SE_1.2007.44-4_PR_MR0 kernel size: 1529984 bytes hash: a84a version: 2.6.21.0-200744osso2 unexpected header at 0x1758f2, found 2e 19 01 At this point I image the mailing-list for 0xFFFF would be the place to go digger On Thu, 2007-12-06 at 18:47 -0500, Steve Yelvington wrote: > digger vermont wrote: > > It doesn't look like it can yet flash the image as a whole.
