I have been looking for a mkrom that works with 2003 ROMs. since kitchen cooks 2003 rom, there must be one version of mkrom that works with 2003.

I downloaded the kitchen, and tried to use the small set under one of _/ directory to cook my version of 2003 without setting out the entire kitchen. but got into one problem. -- the xda does not boot

it shows the boot screen, and the G324e4, R6.10.00 4.00.11, then stops there

one thing I figure went wrong is:

the default.reg I got out of default.fdf is oly about 30k large while the old 2002 version of default.reg is more than 200-300 k large.

any one can help here? I cooked based on 4.00.11 rom, which by itself installs on my xda fine.

Hi Pine

If you are trying to add files to you're Rom you will need to use an original (Not one from Jeffs Kitchen) as the XIP segments get screwed if you try to re-write them. (not sure why) If you run Mkrom without adding additional files you will find it loads fine.

I was not trying to add my files at all. I downloaded a rom, followed the step to cook a new rom without adding any of my files. the resulted rom does not load. quite disapointing experience.

I used the 4.00.11 rom, used the 4.00.11 directory in the kitchen download, modified mkrom to comment out the wince 3 version variables and uncomment the 4 version variables.

anything else I should do?

or the kitchen downloaded from xda-developers.com does not actually work with 2003 yet?

O.K.

Rom Kitchen contains parts of the old Mkrom but relies on more perl scripts to do the work. I have done the same as you and it works fine for me. Best guess is you havn't converted the the default reg properley did you use tr -d "/0" <default.reg>default.txt to convert ? check that you can actualy read the output if its in hex then youv'e done it wrong. The output file should be around 8 to 12 kb
