fan speeds up, xbox turns off. Loader problem.

Hi, i know the maestro is on vacation, but i'm throwing this out in hopes of someone else to be able to help me out.
I'm not sure which xboxversion i have, but it's on of the early ones with the conexant chip as i recently traded someone for it in hopes of gaining higher resolutions(but that's another thread). Anyhow, the loader worked fine on my earlier focus xbox, the only thing i might have done that can have caused this is that i changed the harddrives between the focus box and the conexant box.
It's exactly as described in this thread: viewtopic.php?t=997
But that was in regards to Cromwell/ Xromwell on 1.4/1.5 Xboxes.
As far as i know, there are no such xboxes with the conexant chip so mine should be an earlier version... I could be wrong here though... I can however boot fine from the gentoox dvd disc i have burnt out. Which i find strange since the loader should be the very same right?
I've tried booting from both xbmc and unleashx with the same results.
I run in 480p mode with with optical sound, i have the mouse and keyboard connected to controller ports 3-4 and my gamepad on port 1.
Oh and mine doesn't seem to boot no matter how many times i try.. That would be the difference between my issue and the one in the other thread. Oh i hope someone just might have an answer for me, the reason why this is so annoying for me is because the disctray on this particular xbox is broken.... and only opens now and then... so when i want to use xbmc i can never tell if i'll be able to if the gentoox disc is in the tray, otherwise it would just be an issue of taking the disc out.. but unfortunately i'm a bit unlucky on that front
cheers, and thanks for an excellent product... i'm having tons of fun playing around with linux (total linux newbie) and i'm getting better at it each day.
