loading kernel

[paulie_walnuts]

I tried to reflash my dbox using ftp and flasfxp, however after this I have had the loading kernel message. I tried using IFA with Xover cable and with various IP settings including 1 away from the automatic setting that IFA assigns the dbox. I am at a loss as to how to get it going again, could it be the box is damaged beyond repair?

Very unlikely , it`s probably just a bad flash. Are you getting the Kien Sytsem message on the screen.

What type of box is it and what image did you use?

[paulie_walnuts]

I had commando's latest on it but could only get fta channels. I retried lincsat beta 7 image and reflashed it and since then have been getting loading kernel upon boot up. The box is a Nokia. Cheers

I have a Sagem myself and found Lincsat`s image very unstable. I am now using \/irgin lite 2.1 and find that image very stable. Is the Lincsat image you are using a 2x (chip) as Nokia`s are all 2x and a 1x image will flash onto the box but it will give you a Kein (No) System message upon restarting the box.

It was the 2 chip image that I used, i am not getting the kein system message, just the loading kernel upon boot up. I cant reflash using ftp but have tried IFA and not having any joy. I have used IFA before albeit a while ago but i'm doing all the same things and still not working.

Strange one m8, I personally have never had a problem with IFA. Maybe do a search of all the threads in this section with the word`s Loading Kernal. I am sure someone will have had this problem before, but it`s a new one to me I`me afraid.


EDIT: When using IFA I normally connect the Dbox to the pc with the Dbox off. Open up IFA, select the image I want to flash and press start. IFA say`s your sytem will be prepared for the flashing process and then I turn the Dbox on and away it go`s.

Thanks anyway mate. I've tried all posts but most say just to use IFA and that sorts everything but not this time, I get to the point with IFA where you power box back up but then screen remains blank. I dont know if using another image would help. i've been trying it with laky's sylas.

Are you useing the null modem cable ? if you are what does it say in ifa window, if your not useing null cable then try holding the up and standby button on the box for a couple of seconds and release to reboot untill ifa picks up the box , has been known to have to do this upto 50 times .

I am using the null modem cable and the ethernet cable. When i click start on IFA i get the dialog box which has an ok prompt informing you to hit ok and then power up box, after this nothing.

you tried hyperterminal method then?

Yes, again when I connected the null modem to com2 to communicate I got nothing but a blank screen. I've been into device manager and checked usb serial adapter is working properly as I'm working from a laptop
