I have everything set right. Like I said, with any kernel version, when I do not have Hijack installed, I can quit the the shell in hyperterminal. It's after I install Hijack. I tried to do that even with 240 (the oldest version I have backuped), and I couldn't access the shell. I got a serial log with 2.00b11, and no hijack and got some interesting things. I've just attached it rather than posting it. I'm wondering if where the kernel/hijack resides in the flash is corrupted somehow. Is there a way I can totally clear the flash, then reinstall the kernel? I ran the builder in the past, downgraded clear down to 1.02, 1.03, 2.00b11, and I always have Tony's risky tux. Shouldn't that be gone from flashing the kernel? That and my hijack settings stay. So I think I need to totally clear them out of memory to get things to work. Well It's something I haven't tried yet. So how would I clear the flash, or is that a no-no?
