    7020 boot problems

    dont know if anyone can help, ive posted this on the PLi site, but its the same with every image, even original ones

    i installed the latest 7020 image, installed a channel list, installed a cam, then when downloading the cam config the box just hung, wouldnt respond to anything at all, so i killed the power to it and now when it comes on nothing is displayed on the TV and on the LCD all i see is

    Dream Multimedia
    dhcp...
    BOOT #59 (20071230)



    i reflashed using dreamup but exactly the same. i thought the problem may have been due to the hard drive, but even with that disconnected its like it

    i have other dreamboxes running fine and know my DHCP server is working fine

    any ideas peeps? most things ive managed to sort out by searching and reading, but this has me stuck
    after initially setting up, itll connect to the net once, then hang, and the only thing thatll recover it is a complete reflash via dreamup (40 mins at a time) then i have to setup the network bit manually, itll connect once and die

    Hey up M8

    Don,t know if this helps, buuut i was having the same sort of problem
    with my 7020, untill i sussed it out. I found that i was duplicating
    software, softcams etc, so i had a good old clean out and it was
    sorted. Try it, it might work. If not, then i ain,t got a clue.

    Good luck with it anyway.

    Is there a reason why its taking you 40 mins over dreamup, I was under the impression the dm7020 had a protected bootloader so you can do this-

    turn off via switch at back
    hold the down button while you switch it back on
    when its says ***stop***
    it will show a ip address (allocated via dhcp)
    use a browser to open that ip address http://192.168.1.1
    and flash from there

    doing it this will save you time, not flashed my box this for a ouple of months so cant remember the time it takes but alot quicker than serial.

    Hope this helps and sorry if you already know this.

    Si

    tried that way m8 and it just hangs saying

    ***STOP***
    DHCP...

    and does nothing

    pressing the up button changes the boot sequence (or where it looks for boot information) so imanaged to get it to boot 50% of the time, but the network is VERY sporadic and the traffic it creates on my network just by being connected is unreal

    i have read in the past about replacing a chip that deals with the ethernet connection, so i suppose its possible that this may be blown?

    Hope you get to the bottom of it soon, looks like a slightly more complicated than first thought.

    I seen a post on sat-industry about repairing the ethernet port? maybe some help?

    also have you tried using hyperterinal to see the debug log as it goes through the boot process may give you a glue?

    Si
