    the m7 bios wont work on a version 1.6
    you need the m8_16 bios
    also flash it to bank 2, the m8 with the 1.6 has problems on bank 1 of the xecuter 2.6
    I usually use a 1mb bios for the 1.6 xbox, it seems to work a hell of a lot better (none of the crappy menu jerky stuff)

    try flashing to bank 2 with a 1mb bios
    also make sure you have it LBA patched for large hard drive support (over 137gb)
    you can do that with evtools (you can also make it 1mb with evtools)
    its easy to get back to cromwell if you need to, just get a hold of the cromwell 2.6 bios, (xbins, mirc)and ftp to your pc, put the cromwell in your bios folder, if, in the futre you need to flash to cromwell, you can from evox.
