    I have just purchased a D Box 2 from germany. I flashed it successfully with commando6.img and tried to reboot. Now it hangs on below

    Options:
    1: Console on null
    2: Console on ttyS0
    3: Console on framebuffer
    Select option (1-3), other keys to stop autoboot: 0
    ### FS (jffs2) loading 'vmlinuz' to 0x100000
    ### FS load complete: 651106 bytes loaded to 0x100000
    ...............................................................
    Un-Protected 63 sectors
    ## Booting image at 00100000 ...
    Image Name: dbox2
    Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
    Data Size: 651042 Bytes = 635.8 kB
    Load Address: 00000000
    Entry Point: 00000000
    Verifying Checksum ... OK
    Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK

    Does anyone know where i can go from here ? I cant flash it again as it doesnt boot into the OS and I am not familiar enough with Linux to know how to troubleshoot this issue.

    sure thing mate

    With your box switched off at the wall load Ifa
    When you get the warning you are about to flash push ok and power up your box at the wall
    If it dont say flashing within 10 secs turn off at the wall and back on repeat this untill it says flashing in the LCD It may take an hour but it will go in the end
    If you need ifa
    And a new image pm me
    is your box A nokia Or sagem
    If sagem 1x or 2 x flash chip...............Paul

    What is IFA ? I already have an image which should be fine. Once I understand what IFA is and how to connect to the device to flash it I should be fine.
