well my duo is booting in around 2 minutes, i did have a little trouble with the uno the first time i flashed the new kernel as it took about 10 minutes to boot up, but subsequent flashes have seen no problem with either box.

[punisher]

how u upgrading? i hope you doing a new flash and not a software update lol

 

[andyblac]

if you where on the old 2.2 images, make sure your on the new boot loader that came with 2.3,

also the long boot time on first flash it may be that you HDD / USB stick are being checked for errors, try to listen for the HDD activity. if you can here it just wait.

i really hope you did not update via the software update option on the box ?.

you need to reflash this version due to changes, you can make a bsettings backup which will restore your settings but it wont restore the plugins due to changes again.

There are problems with this kernel.
When using mgcamd and zapping channels for 5 mins, all of the sudden some chanels don't open (black screen) while others are ok, this happens on any channels. the only solution is restart, then all seems fine for another 5 mins.

I first noticed this issue with BH and beta kernel when they released, reported it, but it seems it;s not fixed.

I'm switching back to old kernel, till get confirmation that this issue is fixed.

 

[Larry-G]

to be fair MGcam has nothing to do with us or the kernel, ask the authors of the cam to fix it them selves.

hi !

Is channel list incompatible with the previous release ? I have put the list using dreambox edit 3.0.0 and "service unavailable" on all channels. With previous backup (Vix 2.3GM) all OK.

Rescanning transponders now manually.

 

[punisher]

i dont use DBE i use dreamset and never had an issue sending settings back to box. try a rescan see if it comes back, make sure your tuner settings are set up properly too

I am running version 2.3, so i did a software update...... have now downloaded the update and restarted the box....... and just like every other time i do this, the box does not come back on.... it sits on starting, now, is this down to the fact that when the box is power`d off and back on... the hdd boots up straight away and keeps running, and i`m thinking this stop the box from reloading the image again, i`ve had this a few times now on my box, and it seem to be a hit or a miss if the box will restart properly, and i believe that the box will only restart once the hdd stops running ???

and like most times, i`ll need to put my back-up on a stick to re-install and image ????

I think that same or similar problem exists with oscam BUT with older kernel. VU+ only problem. I think they fu*!?d something.

Please do not post live links

They definitely did.
Neverthless I'm switching back to old kernel. Until VU fixes this, if they ever?

 

[punisher]

report it to vu or speak to authors mgcamd to update to work with new kernel, only way around it

this is what andy had to say about slow bootup after flashing image

if you where on the old 2.2 images, make sure your on the new boot loader that came with 2.3,

also the long boot time on first flash it may be that you HDD / USB stick are being checked for errors, try to listen for the HDD activity. if you can here it just wait.

as i said this has nothing at all to do with Vu or the kernel it is the cam's makers who must update it on their end, by all means go complain to them if your not happy.

this is what andy had to say about slow bootup after flashing image

Punisher m8, i did not need to update the image as i am on the latest image v3.2. yes the update was slow, so i came out of the update setting, went back in, got the update, updated the box, THEN i get the same old problem, THIS box will not restart after an update, the box sits on the starting mode, so my last post still stands, this box refuse`s to restart, i am now going to re-install my back up again, as my box will not reboot.......


also, it has a bad habit of loosing the hdd mount within the box
