    So, everything works clean for me.

    So can you 1st reflash latest from scratch - if you want to keep bouquets etc then copy them over from /etc/enigma2 (bouquets, userbouquets, lamedb) or use something like Echannelizer.
    Turn on debug logs.
    unzip attachment and copy files as follows.
    multiboot.py ---> usr/lib/enigma2/python/screens
    ImageManager.py ---> usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/VIX

    Reboot (preferably use a putty session to freeze before the copy (init 4) and after to reboot (init 6)
    If it doesn't work post the debug logs.

    There is now (untested) code in there to check for the non-STARTUP files (although the STARTUP files should be still there)

    Unfortunately, the box now does not fully startup. It stops with the openvix display and a full row of dots on the front panel.

    I was not very sure whether it should be multiboot.py or Multiboot.py so I have both in ..screens.

    I can telnet and ftp to the box OK.

    I tried renaming the files and then deleting them but the box still won't fully boot!

    Is there something else I could do or check?

    Its probably because I thought all the recent changes were in your version.
    Download latest from the ViX downloads and usb flash that version 011)
    ... and try that without my zip changes.

    I flashed version 11 and did restore my settings. I found that the /boot directory was empty so I added the 4 files from your earlier post and the box has created a 5th file.

    However although I have managed to add openatv to slot 2 I can't boot it nor can I get VIX to run in mode 12

    What can I try next?

    turn on debug
    Stop the system with putty (init 4)
    Rename the 4 STARTUP_X files to xSTARTUP_x
    Go to the Screens directory ... rename Multiboot.pyo to xMultiboot.pyo
    Copy my Multiboot.py to the Screens directory
    Reboot (init 6)
    Try to reboot to slot 2
    Post the debug log(s)
    The added code should deal with no STARTUP_2 by creating a new STARTUP, so there should be no way it cannot boot the new image in slot 2, so lets see what happens.
    This is really weird ... but....
