I just installed Bootmii as boot2 (Which said SUCCESS) but when I turn on the system with the bootmii files on my SD card all I get is a black screen, no menu of any kind, but when I remove the bootmii folder or the SD card, my system menu comes up fine.

I am new to this, the homebrew channel worked fine, but I must have screwed up bootmii somehow.

Hmm it stopped working again, it worked fine the once, I made a NAND backup, then I moved the bootmii files to my PC and went on with Trucha Bug Restorer and cIOS then when I put the files back on (with Progressive) it no longer comes up, same as before.

I don't know what I did to fix it if Progressive didn't do it.

Am I missing some files? All I have on my SD card is

\bootmii\armboot.bin
\bootmii\bootmii.ini
\bootmii\ppcboot.elf
\installer.txt

Black screen, nothing comes up, to shut the system down I have to hold Power for a few seconds, system boots fine without bootmii files/sd card.

I wasn't able to get a new SD card, but I had a SanDisk 8GB micro SD card and an adapter which seems to work perfectly.

I don't have an account at wiibrew.org but if anyone wants to add a SD card to their list:

My GXT brand 2GB 133X card didn't work for Bootmii, it would only show the menu once every 10-20 Wii boots. It did fine with NAND backups though.

    I wanna grab a 360 Slim and a 360 E one of these days. Missed the boat of getting them at their lowest though, once they were discontinued. Could've got them for cheap back when I was a broke 20 something working at Target, but then again, I was a broke 20 something working at Target
