problem with ssd booting

[ArturRGT]

Hi! A few days ago i did the ide mod on my dreamcast, and put an ssd on it with the startech adapter. With the "dreamshell 4.0 rc 4 cdi image" it works perfectly, but i don't seem to be able to boot it using the "dreamshell 4.0 rc 4 + boot loader". I put the DS folder on the root of my ssd and the disk in the drive, and it just stops here:

Dreamshell boot loader v2.4
!!!Press START to enter boot menu!!!
Checking for G1 ATA devices...
g1_ata_scan: found device with LBA48: 468862128

And it does nothing. Just sits there. If i press start, it just says "enter boot menu...." And nothing happens. I wanted to do a bios mod but i am afraid it will do the same thing when booting through the new bios.
What am i doing wrong? Would dragoncity's sd mod be a way around this?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Solder ceramic capacitor 400-500 pf to pin 1 and 2 of your adapter

Thanks! I will order it right now and let you know what happens.
It's pins 1 and 2 of the ide connector, right?

Also, I couldn't get the new 0.7.x loader to work. It always freezes at one point or another in this screen:

DreamShell ISO from IDE loader v0.7.0
Initializing IDE....
Mounting FAT filesystem....
Etc
Etc

It does not freeze on the same line everytime. Sometimes it freezes on "write LBA", sometimes on "mounting FAT filesystem", etc.

The official loader from 4.0 RC4 works perfectly though. Is this related to the first problem or is it something else?
Thank you!
