Can't jailbreak: Could not connect to Lockdownd

[Dhelsdon]

Hi,

Trying to jailbreak my 4S 5.1.1 - Absinthe 2.0.4

I did as the read me said,

1. Backed up
2. Restored as new
3. Ran Jailbreak

It consistently fails at 'Waiting for reboot' with the error "Could not connect to lockdownd"

Any suggestions?

Success using a Windows XP VM, although I had to manually unplug and reboot the phone at "waiting for reboot".
