Hardware Serial number for compatible bootmii@boot2 PAL Wii

[Abaw245]

Hello everyone, I've been trying to look for a PAL Wii that's compatible with bootmii as boot2 but from my research I haven't been able to find an updated list of serial numbers, closest thing being this one but that's mostly for USA models: https://gbatemp.net/threads/method-...all-bootmii-as-boot2-from-the-outside.666067/ (nice guide btw,Aep)

If anyone could share an updated list of PAL serial numbers for this it would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hi there!
Just look for RVL-EUR. NOT RVL-EUR-1, like my guide says.

Really? It's actually that simple?

Apologies for being skeptical as I want to make sure before I spend the money for one, so you're saying that as long as it says RVL-EUR and NOT RVL-EUR-1 in the corner it's a 100% guaranteed?

Update:
My Wii has arrived and when booting up I could tell it was already Homebrewed as the health and safety screen was skipped and the disc channel was moved. No big deal, just update everything and it's ready.

However the main thing I got this Wii for doesn't seem to work. I installed bootmii both as boot2 and IOS and I was expecting it to show up when booting up the console, but instead I was greeted with a very long loading time, the disc drive quickly flashed and I was at the Wii menu.
I tried reinstalling bootmii but no luck, the bootmii files are in the SD card and bootmii IOS is completely functional so I don't understand where the issue might be.

Can somebody help me figure this out?

Good news, I managed to fix it, all I did was switch to a 2GB SD card and put the bootmii files in there and it worked, I guess the previous one was too big (32GB)?
Does anyone know about a limit?

The 2GB working one is also Sandisk except it's a micro SD on an adapter, both Sandisk of course. Not sure what the problem would be

This SD card here, in the pic you attached, is known to be problematic with BootMii.

Welp, good thing I have the other SD card I can use in case I need bootmii, could you also link me a source about this problem? It's just for the sake of being informed on this stuff.

With that said thank you so much for all your help and patience, appreciate all the work you do for the Wii community.
