Default [Q] Clockworkmod and icecream sandwitch
I have Clockworkmod installed and now that ice cream sandwich is finally out I want to upgrade my a500. Can someone point me to right firmware and directions.
I guess I need new boot loader installed also.

You will want to upgrade your bootloader first for sure. Most roms are going to not work with the Honeycomb bootloader in the near future. Go ahead and put version 7 of the bootloader on, so future bootloader enhancements can be flashed via CWM. Once you install the bootloader, install CWM again, pick a rom & enjoy! Test drive them all.

To upgrade to tegraowners ICS ROM or FLEXREAPER (not extrem vetsion) is no new bootloader needed!

I'm using both ROM with my stock HC bootloadet!
You can upgrade the bootloader later if you like.

Really?

I have 4.0.3 and have just rooted.
I have downloaded tegraowners ICS to my sd and the latest galls.

Are you saying i can just boot and do the power + vol deal to install this rom and keep my bootloader stock?
