Check the bootloader flashed correctly or do it again.

Running an old bootloader is the only reason for that error message.

You use the bin file in dreamup or the nfi for browser flashing.

tried that and get same message, managed to get ip and went to web and this page said the following -
If you see this your box did not boot into linux
.Don't panic! It's not a problem. You can just flash a new version and everything will be fine!
Otherwise, you can boot from network or USB.
If you're about to give up, you might get help at the Dream Multimedia Support board!
Currently there aren't many other features...
You can download your current flash contents (64 MB) here, but please don't expect to be able to flash it back. It's merely a debugging feature.

Press firmware info on the flash page and see what bootloader it states your running now.
