Independence Compiler has Keylauncher built in and set as the default loader. p4_tt already gave you a link to it but here it is again http://console.iscentral.net/news.php you can get it there. Trust me, it's what you're looking for.

Go to the files tab, choose 'browse for file' choose your hdloader elf, then click 'add', then you should see it over in the 'addded files' area. It will then be on your installer disk.

*edit* and i'm not sure what zone loader is. keylauncher is the best loader anyways :p*

Hmmm, i'm not really familiar as to how modchips work (dont have one, dont need one) but did you make sure to add a dummy file to your disk? Sometimes when an exploit install disk doesn't have a dummyfile it has a hard time booting. Try a 500 MB dummy file.

Another thing you could try is booting cdloader then using that to boot the exploit installer disk. That could help too.

Just some idears.

It should have some basic white text with a black background, nothing fancy. It will tell you what it's copying onto your mem card, then say it's finished.

Try outputing it to files (instead of cd image) and buring those files with Nero burning rom, mode 2/XA ISO9660. That's how I do it and it always boots, no prob.
