Well, I re-applied the developer image. Then I installed the kernel image, then I ran the install script but before I did that I changed the permissions (chmod u+x install.sh), then ran the script.
It puked on me the first time, then ran properly the second time.
I then checked my drives, and both were mounted, /drive0 and /drive1, but then I fired up Emplode, and watched the synch with hyperterm open, and what I got was;
ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining whether /dev/hda4 is mounted.
ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining whether /dev/hdc4 is mounted.

So then I installed the installhdc.sh and I still recieved the above errors on synch, but some stuff I had recently put into the player was now accessible via the M3U files.
So for all intensive purposes it does look like it works. As the previous M3U file wouldnt connect in Winamp, it would queue, but would generate time-out errors on playback.
I then rebooted the player, and then re-ran the displayserver with the -noauth option, and it didnt work, then I tried noauth, and just about every combination thereof. Winamp still requires auth.
So, I have a functioning displayserver, but with undersired authorization, and I noticed at the main menu there is an option for system backup, is this the kernel or the whole kit-and-kaboodle with fids? (I never saved the backup.tar file, so I dont know)

Any ideas?
