Root Can't access HBoot

I have a new Evo 4G running Gingerbread 2.3.3 which replaced an older Evo with 2.2. My old Evo was rooted easily with Unrevoked. My new Evo is not quite as easy. I have tried the unrevoked and get an error that my firmware is too new. I have tried to root the current phone following the directions via the Revolutionary site. However I am unable to access my HBoot screen to determine which HBoot version I have.

I have held the volume down and power button for several minutes and nothing happens until I let go of one of the buttons.

I have searched on this forum and others and have not found a solution. Does anyone know what I can to do find out the HBoot version?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks
