    No problem, I admire your patience.... but something is badly screwed!!! Just don‘t know what ... yet
    Hopefully the additional debug will hopefully tell me what..... compared to ImageManager this code is really simple, so its like it doesn‘t realise its a HD51 receiver........
    if it doesn‘t work will have add more debug.

    What we can also try is copying STARTUP_2 to STARTUP (overwrite) but lets try the 1st step and then see..

    I tried to boot Vix mode 12.

    The box rebooted but now /media/usb is my harddisk and /media/hdd is my USB stick.

    Information/About still shows mode 1

    I will remove the stick reboot and put the stick back in. (I have had this problem before)

    I flashed the box with openatv this then let me add openpli in position 2 and I was able to boot openpli.

    Openpli let me multiboot back to openatv boxmode 12 but that has got into a loop where enigma starts up, crashes and then restarts and crashes again. Is there a way I could make openatv use boxmode 1 using telnet? if so I could also add Vix in position 3.

    OK, the logs show that the software is doing what it should do and should reboot to slot2 - and there are no error indications.... so it believes it has re-written the STARTUP file
    I have usb flashed and it wipes all the slots, installs an image on slot1 and rebuilds the boot partition which includes STARTUP, and STARTUP_1 -> STARTUP_4 files (I previously removed them on the existing system before usb flash).
    ... and I have to go through the startup wizard to setup the image.

    So 1) can you post the contents of STARTUP and 2) as a final test can you copy the STARTUP_2 to /boot, rename STARTUP to XSTARTUP and then rename STARTUP_2 to STARTUP and reboot.
    I it reboots to ATV then need more thought.
    If it reboots slot1 then unzip the bootloader below to usb and do usb flash.
    Then usb flash the OpenViX image and see whats in /boot

    Unfortunately the box is now giving 'No Partition' instead of 'Flashing' when I try to flash it.
    I have tried two different USB sticks and in the various different USB ports.

    telnet and samba both connect to the box and I can see what I would expect

    Any idea how to fix this one?

    Looks like I just can't flash a backup image. I can flash a new image

    zzSTARTUP is the STARTUP file I was using.
    STARTUP is a copy of STARTUP_2

    The box booted VIX not ATV. I will now flash what is in hd51-bolt...

    "When I first flashed HD51 with Vix I did use settings from another box (Xtrend ET9000 or Octagon SF4008) - I hope that is not the cause of my problems. I can just reflash the box if that would help. "

    So I think you are overwriting the fstab in /etc which means that the system is mounting the wrong Emmc partition to /boot ... which is why it doesn't work.
    The image build sets up the fstab with the correct boot volume for multiboot receivers, such as the HD51 (/dev/mmcblk0p1) and also the sf4008 (/dev/mmcblk0p5)

    Just post /etc/fstab
    here is my fstab zipped (includes my HDD/usb mounts)
    you could edit yours to add correct disk mounts and then copy mine updated to your /etc/fstab

    Nothing - no STARTUPs at all!

    When I flashed bold it said 'Bolt' on the front panel.

    The box does work very much better with the correct fstab! I can multiboot both openatv and openpli. I can even use PIP.

    I saved the fstab after flashing before I restored the settings and then put it back after a settings restore.

    I apologize for causing you so much trouble.

    Its been interesting - and at least I updated my code to handle a no startup situation.
    .... if you have any other issues you might check to see if anything else has been changed.
    I would now do a new settings backup with the correct fstab - just wish I had remembered the fstab mount before this morning.

    Just pleased it is now working for you.
