If your getting Error -2011 that probably means your system menu is too high. Try downgrading it, that's what i did. I found this video very helpful -

Hope it helps :)

Error -2011 means you dont have the trucha bug on your wii and that you need to downgrade ios15 and install a patched ios36 then you should be just fine

My 4.2 Wii failed at this step too. Apparently you have to DOP Mii it and configure some IOSs before you run cIOS. I forgot how I found this link, but it sure helped me xD
USE THIS BEFORE STEP 2 OF THIS GUIDE

http://sites.google.com/site/completesg/hacking-guide/trucha

There's more than the DOPmii thing on there and it's all pretty useful information - I bookmarked it, but I only needed that page to follow the rest of this guide. Anyway, I am running burned discs on my 4.2U Wii and my shop channel works fine. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DOWNGRADE :D

Hey, are there any benefits to installing DVDx into IOS249? I don't see why you can't just do a normal installation.

The 249 should be there if you choose "Advance" option when installing the DVDx. You can go to http://www.tehskeen.com/ and download DVDx.
