[q2uantum]

Hi guys, just softmodded a 4.2E wii and have followed this guide:

Full hacking guide for 4.2 system menus!!!!

I want to try and get Priiloader installed on it but I have hit a brick wall! Been trying this for about 2 hours now and the outcome is I get an error that says

FAILED TO GET ROOT

Has any one any ideas on what this is and how to fix??

Regards
