threw the 2.0 beta on

Why beta, and which beta? Should be 2.0 final.

tried flashing the kernel (via both the download.c, then I went to WinXP and used Tony's editor) No luck.

Do you mean the flash didn't work, or that the flash worked but the player didn't work?

If the latter, then maybe the kernel file was corrupted during download, or was the wrong file. Remember that the flashing tools make no effort to ensure the file is a "good" file. They just blindly write the bits to the player.

If the former, did you get an error message?
