View Full Version : Strange problem with 1 of my 2 Vu+ Duo and the most recent VTi image
Hi all,
I have a really strange problem while trying to install the most recent version of VTi Image (V 2.0 - 19.08.2010 OE 1.6) on 1 of my 2 Vu+ Duo (on the other one the installation worked flawlessly).
After a complete reinstallation via USB, every time the decoder starts, no bootlogo is displayed. The screen just shows the spinning hourglass on a completely black background.
Moreover, when I try to manually install a package (ipkg install...) I always receive the following error:
Configuring vuplus-bootlogo
mount: can't find /boot in /proc/mounts
postinst script returned status 1
Collected errors:
* ERROR: vuplus-bootlogo.postinst returned 1
I tried to repeat the installation many many times, but the behaviour didn't change.
Does anybody have a solution to this problem?
Yes, this was the first idea. So I reflahed and reflashed again for 5 or 6 times and nothing changed.
The strange thing, as I told in my previous post, is that on the other Vu+ Duo I have, the installation of the same image didn't have any problem.
BTW: I have no problem with other images.
I tried Dream Elite, VXI and Gigant and I didn't have any installation issue with them.
so only vti give u the problem on this box.... this is very weird:confused:
is there any peripherals connected (usb at back, hdd, lan cable...etc). if so try to disconnect them all and reflash

hi mate
does this behavour with the boot loader happen before you attemp to manual load plugins ? im wondering if u can inform us what else you have been loading via ipkg it could be a pluging not fully compatable with the new image.
What you described happend to me tonight ....black screen with hourglass spinner but this was when i was shutting down to restart however i did get the boot screen when it started again.

Yes, there is LAN and a 1 TB internal HDD.
I will try disconnecting them.
does this behavour with the boot loader happen before you attemp to manual load plugins ?
Yes, it happens immediately after the USB installation without any manual installation performed.
During the first boot, before the configuration wizard starts, no bootlog is displayed.

The only manual installation I performed (and that produced the error present in my first post) was the most recent version of xmltvimport, but, when I tried to install it, the problem was already present.
Taking a look at the directory structure of the 2 decoders, I noticed that the /boot directory of the working one contains the following 4 symbolic links:
backdrop.mvi -> /usr/share/backdrop.mvi
bootlogo.mvi -> /usr/share/bootlogo.mvi
bootlogo_wait.mvi -> /usr/share/bootlogo_wait.mvi
vmlinux -> vmlinux-2.6.18-7.3
while the same directory of the not-working one is empty.
Performing a 'mount' command, the not-working installation has this line missing:
/dev/mtdblock2 on /boot type jffs2 (ro)
A little update to this problem.
I reinstalled the most recent VTi image, but this time I disconnected the hard disk and the network.
Result: nothing changes; during the boot no splash screen is displayed.
This happens only with VTi image. I tried to install VIX, Gigant, DE, HDFreaks and also the original image and the splash screen is always displayed.
