Problem:
Error while uploading: missing 'upload.params.quiet' configuration parameter.
I bootloaded atmega8l-8pu as per the link using Arduino as ISP(windows 7 user)

I also edited the boards.text as shown:(also added some parameters like_dbg parameters i dont know about to get it working)

ANY SUGGESTIONS ?

2

which programmer are you using to bootload?
have you checked everything thrice?

also make sure fuses are configured right.

3

i am using arduino as ISP to bootload and it completed without showing any error AND then i replace the atmega328 with atmega8 for uploading purpose.I have tried usbasp,avrisp. What should i use?
i have set the fuses as shown in the link.
Can you guide me What things do i have to check thrice?

Can you guide me What things do i have to check thrice?

everything related to this implementation.

Error while uploading: missing 'upload.params.quiet' configuration parameter.

known bug. The newer versions of Arduino (1.5 and later) can no longer "burn bootloader" to ATmega8.

It doesn't seem to have grabbed official attention. IMNSHO, you're better off learning to use avrdude from the command line. http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=339004.msg2339327#msg2339327

I followed the procedure correctly so i think everything is right but i dont have knowledge of fuses and lock bits for now.Can i have enough knowledge of them by reading datasheet?
Also what does the error :missing 'upload.params.quiet' configuration parameter point to?
I added some upload parameters in the boards.txt file ,tell me if i missed some imp parameters.

i tried on older version arduino1.0.3 and the error now is:(i am using atmega8l-8pu)
avrdude stk500_getsync() not in sync resp=0x00 .
Its a very common error but i am not able to remove it.I also tried changing upload.protocol to arduino in the boards.txt file.

i tried on older version arduino1.0.3

It changed a lot with the introduction of version 1.x.x ,so I will suggest trying 0022 instead.

but fairly speaking such sort of an error is created even when the board isn't reseted well or the bootloader is buggy.

I tried older 0022 too and it shows the same error :
avrdude stk500_getsync() not in sync resp=0x00 .
Can I bootload the same chip twice? It would be nice if anyone can share a link of more trustworthy bootloader for atmega8 for 8 mhz .I dont want to use crystal or other external components.
Thanks

Yes you can bootload the same chip twice or many many times!, in under arduino\hardware\arduino\bootloaders\atmega8 you can change certain parameteros of the C source file to support a certain clock source and use the INTROSC @ 8Mhz ,seems like your best best right now.
