Kitchen crash
 

I've been trying to cook my own rom with no success. I've used Jeff Kirvin's and the new unified kitchen. If I run createOS without adding any OEM's, everything works fine. I can also remove OEM's without a problem. If I add a OEM I get a JIT exception. I've tried quite a few d/l from the ftp site and the results are the same. What the heck am I doing wrong?

Which OEM's from the FTP site have you tried?

Quite a few

Colonel_ClearTemp
Colonel_VoiceCommand
Coreplayer
Fin_Memmaid
Phone Alarm
Sogarth-CalliGrapher-8.4
Sogarth-RescoExplorer-5.42
Sogarth-SpbWeather-1.7.0

I tried a few more, but have since deleted them. I even tried taking Total Commander from Kirvins kitchen (where it worked) to the Unified kitchen where it caused a crash.

I'm baffled! This is not that difficult a procedure. I could understand it if I were making my own OEM cab's.

I did this wrong my first time: When you unrar the OEM you get a folder with the actual OEM AND a readme. Make sure you put the OEM folder with the acutal files in it and not the folder with both the unrared OEM folder and the readme. It could be your problem.

Exactly what I was wondering. But if he pulled an OEM from another kitchen and it still didn't work, that may not be the problem.

Here are a few things that will give you errors. First, every folder in the OEM folder must have a dsm in it. If not, it will error. Also, the dsm files must be Unicode. Once created, the blank dsm should still show a size of usually 2kb. If it shows 0kb, you did not do it right.

So, make sure you only have one folder for each OEM. In that folder should be a dsm saved in Unicode.

I've given up for the moment. The only thing I can think of is that there's something going on with my win box. Unfortunately, very other machine in the house is running Ubuntu at the moment. Maybe this coming weekend I'll find the time to put winxp back on my Dell laptop and try to cook on that. Thanks for everyones help!
