Root Gingerbreak Problem

Flashed to stock upgraded to 2.2 tried to root using gingerbreak 1.2 does not work just hangs for 4 hours so far. What can I do to root?

If you upgraded to 2.2.2, I might be able to help---gingerbreak didn't work for me either. I upgraded to 2.2.2. I tried to root with z4root v1.3, then gingerbreak v1.1, v1.2, v1.3. No luck. Finally, ShinySide suggested I try SuperOneClick. Success! See my last post in this thread for more details. Also see a blog post I wrote about rooting the Ascend with Android 2.2.2.
