Default Problem with Superuser and stock ROM

Just got the AlphaRevX rooting done. S-Off, no problems. Got Titanium Backup installed and installed Superuser. After installing Superuser, tried reopening Titanium and it said it couldn't gain root access. The phone said Superuser needed to be updated. Tried that and said the update failed and placed a new Superuser file on the SD card to go into recovery and flash manually. Tried that, failed to flash that file as well.

Any ideas? Anyone else experienced this?

The first link on that OP is the superuser stuff and the 2nd link is the stock kernel.

When you get around to running root, if the Windows isn't fixed yet, do the Live CD with Ubuntu. It's not a bad process at all and works perfectly.

Yeah, I'm kind of boning up on how to do it just in case.

It's not bad at all. The Live CD works like a charm and actually has given me enough reason to start fiddling with Ubuntu next.

That happened to me as well but I just rebooted the phone. Once the phone was rebooted I installed busybox and that seemed to fix the problem
