What device are you using as HDD - it seems to have an issue.

WD passport

That has been resolved

Have you tried rebooting (power off/on) with only hdmi/lan connection, no usb or sdcard

If there is only power from usb could be - ofgwrite is not clearing a mount of the root device - says busy - this should not happen.

Lcoldfire - do you have a usb with about 30+GB you can temporarily use as HDD instead of the WD passport?
.........Back to logs!

Ok so with the HDD unplugged and only sd card plugged in multiboot works fine...

So logs show that after ImageManager flashes there is hang on teh HDD which stops the reboot to OpenATV image... and it then tries to reboot normally to previous image and obviously hangs (boot msg/satellite picture).
The longpower/multiboot sessions shows OK, and it changes the STARTUP ... reboots but hangs.

Magic ........ so its the usb and fluctuating power on the WD - it obviously leaves the receiver usb connection in some weird situation that is not cleared during boot up.

If only light use a largish usb stick would be fine, otherwise buy a usb attached storage device with its own power....

Then a large usb stick might do depending on how many recordings - I use a 128GB on my SF8008.
.... and by the way thank you for being patient and doing everything that was asked - else we wouldn‘t have got to this point.

I really do appreciate your help. So I am guessing the issue is not enough power to the usb drive?
