[VU+ Duo] hangs on starting after update

[philsat]

Did a software update today and when box restarts it hangs on "starting"
Have tried reloading image 3 times and it does the same each time after update.

Same thing happened to me. Tried an online update from VIX menu, it hung with the 'wait for your system to restart message on screen' Left it about 20 minutes and then switched off. When I switched it back on, my bouquets were changed. No dramas, just restored from a backup and back in business.

So, all good, just thought I'd mention it here on forum in case it helps the build.

What version were you updating from ? as the older 2.3 image with the 2.6 kernel can not be updated to the newer 2.3 image with the 3.1.1. kernel via software update, resulting in the symptoms you have described.

try running the update via a telnet session just to be sure issue the following command while in the telnet session.

opkg update && opkg upgrade

allow this to fully run its course, it could take a few minutes then run the following command

shutdown -r now

The receiver should reboot and that should be it.

Hi I also have the same problem.
Can you confirm the upgrade procedure:

I re-install 2.3 from December.
I open a telnet session.
I then use the commands:
opkg update && opkg upgrade
When that is finished shutdown -r now.

Is that all, do I need to do anything else? Do I need to download anything first?
Thanks

Hi,
I have answer my own question I just ran the command and it still hangs in shutdown.

There was a message on the telnet window
FATAL:
Module rt2800usb not found

The sequence I posted above is just a means of performing a update via a telnet session as opposed to using the blue button > ViX > software update method.
