Nice...probably the most unhelpful post I've seen on XDA. grats xD
I have ICS pre-installed on my HDD model. These zimage and initram files don't seem to work. Should I try these files and rom?

Does that mean I can skip the rest of the steps if so? Or is there another hd compatible file I should be using?

The first post (Step 2) should be definitely corrected to support ICS tablets.
After several hours I could bring my Archos back into usable state. Workaround for the steps:
6. Download archos.ext4.update mentioned in this post.
7. Decompress the file archos.ext4.update and put in into internal storage. If your tablet is still booting you should be perhaps able to connect it with adb. So try
8. Download zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo mentioned in the same post
...
13. Copy downloaded two files into new drive
14. The device start will start 4.0.6 update and then boot with root privileges; no more actions are required. abd shell gives you root, superuser is installed and functioning.
Hope that helps.

Thanks I am back and booted. I had to mount the hd and use ex3 software to copy the image there - but it was able to load.
Now I can't seem to get any custom rom's to load though - I've tried a couple following these steps:
* Boot in SDE ( connect USB cable )
* Reformat Device , ok!
* Reboot in SDE ( no need )
* Install Archos 4.0.6 Official (firmware_archos_it4.aos) ok ! after Reformat Device copy firmware_archos_it4.aos in
the drive that will appear !
* Reboot and copy "archos.ext4.update" on /mnt/storage (this Rom) ok!
* Reboot in SDE ->Remove android kernel -> Flash kernel & Init Frams ok!
* Copy Files -> Ok -> Reboot ok !
Everything goes okay, but reboot just goes like normal, no update or anything applies.

Hi,
Has I say you in the other post, you have to remove Android Kernel before flash Kernel&InitFrams ...
This is not necessary but if you have both stock and custom kernel system will use stock one by default and to boot custom firmware you'd have to launch Recovery every booting
