I'm not talking about the one from his website. I'm talking about the one he linked above.

Look, lemme be absolutely clear on what's going on:

- You replaced the chip.

- The regular kernel (whether it's Mark's or Empeg's kernel) doesn't like the chip's version number. None of the normal kernels will work at this point, there's no sense in even trying.

- Mark made you a special custom kernel that he linked above which should (in theory) be happy with that chip's version number. He asked you to try it.

- You tried it but it doesn't work. From the serial output you displayed, it seems that there is something wrong with the file itself, for example, a bad download.

- Until you can get Mark's special custom-made-just-for-you kernel properly downloaded and installed so that it works with that particular chip, we won't know if Mark's fix worked or not. We need to get that particular kernel running properly on your player before we go any farther in the diagnostic process.

Get it?
