Hi all, I found that the Market and Google Talk will work fine if you put in an Android ID yourself. Apparently that was the only issue.
For those of you who already have other android devices, you can get your android ID by doing the command.

1. X devices:adb shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/accounts.db "select * from meta";
2. X devices:adb shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/gls.db "select * from meta";

You'll get a readout with a line that looks likeandroidId||27283232........38434 (a big number) That last number beginning after the bar is your android ID.
If you DONT have an Android device, you can create an Android ID on the 1.6 Emulator by following the directions here: How To Enable the Android Market in the Google Android Emulator - How-To Geek
and then running the 1.X adb code above to get your Android ID.

Once you have your Android ID, run this command with your novel connected (be sure the emulator is shut down and no other devices are connected)
adb shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/gls.db
"update meta set intvalue='ANDROID_ID_HERE' where name='androidId'"; where you've replaced ANDROID_ID_HERE with whatever your real Android ID is.
You can run the 2.X command above to ensure it worked. Reboot, and you should hopefully have working google talk and Market. (and no, you can't have mine)

I just used the key I backed up from before with the ConsolidatedHacks package and I am seeing the same servers unavailable message I was seeing in the not-dirty hack. I'm starting to think we're being locked out...--bornagainpenguin
I just think market (and google in general) has a lot of server issues. I am currently running Roebeets 8/20 mod and get into the market just fine. ***This is not always the case*** I get many messages of market unavailable too.
