Here's what I've done (for other newbs like me to learn from, and for you pros to examine to help determine where I've slipped):

1. Downloaded ConFlipper's 21193 XIP and SYS
2. RARed up SYS_21193_Common and SYS_21193_96DPI_0409 and placed those archives in the Kitchens folder (all folder references are under PPCKitchen.org\BuildOS\
3. Added Vouge_21193_XIP.bin to Vogue_Core.rar in Kitchens folder
4. Using a copy of Projects\Groups\BuildBases\WM6.1_96DPI_QVGA_20931. txt, I created WM6.5_96DPI_QVGA_21193.txt and edited it to reflect the new BuildID (WM6.5_21193) and the two new ModuleDir entries (those from step 2 above).
5. Using a copy of Projects\Groups\DeviceBases\Vogue_WM6.1.txt, I created Vogue_WM6.5.txt and cleared all XipFilename entries and added a new one for Vogue_21193_XIP.bin that references BuildID WM6.5_21193. I also changed StockBuild to 21193.
6. Using a copy of a previous 20931 project file, I created a new project file referencing my new BaseGroup (step 4 above) and my new DeviceGroup (step 5 above).
7. I located G'Reloc (2).exe in Tools folder and renamed it to G'Reloc (2).exe.orig then copied an instance of WMReloc.exe (version 1.04) to Tools\G'Reloc (2).exe
8. I opened PPCK BuildOS, selected my new project, cleared all my optional OEMs (everything I saw), built the ROM, flashed it, then realized it wasn't going to boot.

The only issue I can imagine is that I used Vogue_Core (and it's boot.rgu), but I've not seen a replacement floating around and ConFlipper DID say to use one from .VM that worked previously (at least that's how I took it).

So where have I gone wrong?

Find all my new files attached (For all the other newbs out there, you shouldn't even need to look in these. Just knowing WHICH files I mentioned above, should give you the info you need to use ConFlips SYS/XIP in PPCKitchen).

I looked through the txt files you posted everthing seems ok. But there is something about messing around with the grelock exes that for me is your problem I will give it a shot tonight and see what I can come up with since I already have it set up in my ppcgeek kitchen since we started on wm6.5 but I could never get it to work either. I don't think I ever had all the right files.
