I am lost in loading bootloader for Arduino Single Sided on ATMEGA8-16PU. Here is my problem.

1- I made the Arduino Single Sided V3

2- Placed ATMEGA8-16PU in the board and attached it to the Parallel Programmer and attached external 9V battery.

3- Accessed the controller using avrdude using command line and it returned correct signature 0x1e9307.

4- I executed this command "avrdude -p atmega8 -c dapa -P lpt1 -U lock:w:0xff:m" it worked well. Everything was fine till this point and controller returning correct signature.

5- Then this "avrdude -p atmega8 -c dapa -P lpt1 -U hfuse:w:0xca:m -U lfuse:w:0xdf:m" and suddenly after execution of this command controller was returning wrong signature 0x000012.

What is wrong? i cannot go further? why it is returning the wrong signature.

But i noticed something odd, controller was not returning 0xffffff it means it is not bricked, its alive and hence returning signature whatever it is.

May be the default baud-rate of programmer is not matching anymore with the baud-rate change in controller for different clock source.

What should i do ?
