I'm trying to flash the Uno bootloader onto a fresh ATMega328 that is on a prototype PCB I am working on, but it just isn't working. I've populated the board with only the ATMega328, a 16 Mhz resonator and the 10k pull-up resistor to VCC. I'm really at a loss for what is happening, since I am able to program other boards with no problems. Any help is appreciated at this point
Using Arduino 1.0.5, I select "Arduino Uno" from the Tools > Board type menu and "USBtinyISP" from the Tools > Programmer menu. I click on Tools > Burn bootloader and immediately get this error in the console:
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.
I am able to use the USBtinyISP to program a spare Arduino board with no problems.
I've attached the schematic, PCB design and some pictures so you can see that nothing is loading down the MOSI/MISO/SCK pins.
In the PCB there is a ground fill on both the top and bottom layers.
Here is the complete output from the "verbose output" mode:
