I'm having a similar problem, where I cannot get into config live with 2913 anymore... Holding the white button on my controller (a true wired MS one) brings up the X3 Rox My Box logo but does nothing else. The strange thing however, is it used to work until I upgraded my harddrive, and it worked fine for that (I used the 2913 bios to format the new drive and to transfer my dashboard over). I did also go into it and disable Booting from DVD Drive (thank you for this option). That was the last time I was able to get into Config Live, but I can't say for certain that that was what caused it.

I did boot the older X3 Bios (1959) and I can boot Config Live there. I reflashed 2913, but still no config live. I have the 1959 bios on banks 1-4 and the 2913 bios on 5-8.

I've not tried the erase eeprom.xbe program yet, as I'm still searching for it (didn't come bundled with my bios)

I ran the program to erase the configuration data off my X3, and when booting the 2913 bios, I got the XBox logo, the Xecuter Rox My Box, and, nothing else

Slight burst of harddrive activity and then nothing. I let it sit for 15 minutes, and still nothing... because it's trying to boot to Config Live and it's hanging. But, I found if I boot to the 1959 bios, I can adjust it to not boot config live, and my 2913 bios does the same... it'll boot fine, it'll run the dashboard, but no Config Live.
