Big thanks to @braian87b and @dferrg!

Thanks to you!

lol, I managed to get it working, I'll clean up all these steps at some moment on a new gist, but for the moment:

using a higher position 0x800000 made the trick.

Sorry for the spanish echos as i am argentinian. Hope it will help some newbies like me set everything faster.

PD: Another thing that i saw is that the lenovo iomega ez backup and bla bla bla. has 2 sata ports, one its not soldered. will try to solder one and see if you can put 2 hdd. It might be able to use raid 1 for data protection.

PD2: Im an electronic guy so programing is not my strong, but i will also try to change the ram, i think i have a 256Mb memory somewhere in my desk, (im a really messy guy).

Have a nice day.
