Quote:13 - kernel - Dashboard launch fail (due to missing/bad key, or anything else that would prevent it from running) and the dashboard didn't specify why it failed.
The error it gives is because of the incompatibility between the (older) dashboard (4920) that older slayer cd installs and the new dashboard/kernel versions found in some new xbox's and found in xbox's that have been connected to xbox live (when you go on xbox-live, it'll upgrade your dashboard file to i believe it is now 5659.03. This dasboard is incompatible with the dash that (old) slayer cd installs (for example 2.5 or lower) for you.
(In detail, in the eeprom chip there is a kernel which is incompatible with the dashboard (4920) that slayer installs.)
So what do you do to fix it? You can use the dashupdate found on most new xbox games! Be sure to 1st unplug your ethernet cable before you do so!!!
Besides that, just use a good installation disc and all is fine. Use a 2.6 slayer or something similar
I'm guessing he had a softmod and while trying to remove, he did something wrong.
At this point, if you don't have a chip, you only have a few options.
1. If the Xbox can still read games and you have the exploit save still, reinstall the soft mod. Then use an autoinstaller disc fix to your mess.
If it can't read games...
2. Hotswap and soft mod. Then remove it properly.
3. Get a modchip and use an autoinstaller to fix your mess.
