iPhone 4s jailbreak wont work. Please help.

[NikonD3fan]

I'm trying to jailbreak my 4s using redsn0w but I keep getting an error "jailbreak failed, service won't start (3986)". I'm using 0.9.12b2 if that helps. Any ideas?

Or just try Absinthe 2.0.4

Firmware must be 5.1.1

What is the difference between the two?

Both jailbreak 5.1.1
If Redsn0w won't work, try Absinthe

I just JB my wife's 4S with Absinthe... worked great.

You may already know this, but the main difference between Redsn0w and Absinthe is the ability of the former to retain the modem firmware version for future unlocking for example. Absinthe is the easiest method though. Almost foolproof.
