    Crashed and bootloop after 5.1.0.0.3

    Hi! Just upgraded from 5.1.0.0.2 to 5.1.0.0.3, it took Little longer than normal I Think, but after successfully upgrade I started EPG-import and ViX crashed,
    and now my machine is in a bootloop.
    Turned of with the powerswitch, and started, but same.

    I can connect via ftp, is there any to do except install from scratch?
    (I have a full backup).

    2:
    FYI, I ftp:d the "settings" file from backup, and now it booted OK, will try to do EPG-import again...

    3:
    FYI, I also noticed during the bootloop that the "etc\profile" file was zero in size, after I ftp:d the "settings" file I also ftp:d in the back upped "profile" file, and it seems to work now.

    You could try to delete the file epg.dat, it's location depends on where you chose to save it.

    I would reflash but I see that you use both Crossepg and epgimporter, so depending on where you store the epg (hdd or usb) I would clear them before doing a full settings restore ... with usb its easy, just attach to a PC and delete them.

    Judging by the log it is in flash:
    < 372.253> [eEPGCache] /media/hdd/epg.dat not found, try /epg.dat
    which is not a good idea at all, as it leads to crashes.
