This image can then be flashed to box using the sportster menu. Box is then reset and boots as per initial contiuous loop as above until eventually it successfully loads all the way. All works as expected until channels are changed or menus are navigated then box eventually freezes. Have noticed that before box finally freezes the epg fails and restarting the epg usually leads to a freeze shortly after. I have had no luck in reflashing an image using IFA (tried with both patch cable (through a hub) and cross-over cable (direct from PC) together with a null-modem serial cable. Box is well ventilated etc. etc... Any ideas if this is a known Hardware, firmware or software problem? Thanks in advance for any advice at all.
Hi mbg, All AV and Firewall software is disabled, IFA will eventually boot the box and start to transfer an image, but this fails before the image is fully uploaded. Usually results in a linux kernel panic with the box having to be manually rebooted. This could of course be due to something interrupting the transfer but with AV and FireWall off, I am at a loss to know what it may be. In any case does IFA accomplish any more than when an image is uploaded via ftp and flashed to the box using the sportser menu? As I said above, when I can get it to boot it loads all the way to a fully functioning box. Both the ftp and the webserver function, all external drives are mounted and I can record and playback... things start to fail as I navigate the menus and eventually the thing freezes. If the box were a PC I would suspect RAM or ROM failure. Thanks for your reply.
