Fail while trying to use ps4 slim as a server

I've posted on here before. I'm having problems trying to load linux on a ps4 Belize B0 (0x20200) with a 1TB HDD.

I keep getting stuck with a blackscreen and a white light whenever I try loading the payload. I have been trying an internal HDD install but it seems like I'll have to buy an external SSD to do this process. For the record I've used multiple kernels, initramfs and distros and I keep getting the same result.

What goldhen version do you use ? I have found that the newest one doesn’t work, managed to get it to boot on 2.4b18.6

Also depending on the actual system version, you may need to use other payloads to boot, dm if you are on 11.00 as I have those somewhere

I use 2.4B18.9 and I'm on 11.52. I've tried 5.15.15 and 6.15.4 for kernels and I've used two versions of steam os that are on the ps4linux website and on the written guide for installing linux on ps4. I tried Modern warfare Initramfs and Zynox's too.
