Sounds as though you are using an old softmod, and you might want to fix that first. Use HeXEn (Google Heimdall's Xbox Engineering Disc) burned to DVD-R to upgrade to Krayzie 1.1.1 or Kingroach NDURE 3.1. That will definitely solve your blank eeprom problem.
Out of interest, why do you want to use PBL?
Thanks! I did search for this a while back but all the places I found it had no seeds, but "Heimdall's Xbox Engineering Disc" took me right to one with tons of seeds

I want to us PBL to run the debug BIOS, and load the debug dash on my retail Xbox.
