vu fix

hi, I too had this problem and my supplier came up with this fix using serial cable.

Switch the box off, on the rear side.
choose in putty for serial connect, speed must be set to 115200 and choose you`re comport.
Put the box on, when you`re connection is oke, you wil see some text scrolling over the putty screen.
Now use the ctrl + c key to stop the booting.
copy the following line in the screen:

boot -z -elf flash0.kernel: 'rootfstype=jffs2 root=/dev/mtdblock0 rw mem=0x8000000 bcmrac=3`

The box now reboot from the flash, so watch you`re box.
Then open telnet with dcc and put in the following line.

flash_eraseall /dev/mtd5

and after that the following line

reboot -f

Then you`re box is running again.

thats the thing with the VU,, a cracking reciever but no ware near the same support as the dream,,,

But what would you prefer.
I near 100% reliable box with less support, or a box with so much support because it is so unreliable? LOL...
