on my travels i found this thread which may help you with you problem

------------


1) boot your VU+ in the bootconsole (with serial cable, press Ctrl+c to stop the bootsequence)
2) copy this command to the console and press enter:
code:

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

3) your box should boot from flash
4) open a telnet session and enter this command:
code:

flash_eraseall /dev/mtd5

5) reboot your box with this command:

reboot -f

That's all. I hope you get your box back running.

I don't know if its any help but I've had various things in the past and it only worked if you start the program 1st then turn the box on.
I notice your duo is already on when you try to connect.

looks like thats the route my box is going to take.
i hope vu people come up with some means of fixing this type of problem,
just because the box has not been down it does not mean it will never go down.
