thanks for all your replies :)

my next question is can anyone help me on how to flash the image?
I know how to flash the image using flash tools.
but I don't know how to flash using the usb stick which show all the files. (if that make sense)

I know I need to ftp them to the ipbox but how do I find the ip address.

or is there anyone local to Doncaster that can help me out?
by showing me where im going wrong :mecry:

thanks guys

1. Boot your DGS image, wait to full boot.
2. Insert your USB stick
3. Telnet to your box, execute mount
4. In the list check - if the /dev/sdb1 is mounted (if is FAT probably is mounted to /mnt/usb/usb0)
5. umount it - umount /mnt/usb/usb0
6. now execute fdisk /dev/sdb (not sdb1)
7. on the prompt press p - to see current partition table
8. press d - to delete partitions, if it is only one proceed, if not - press d again and delete all partitons
9. press p again - there will be no partitons now
10. Press n - to create new partition
11. select p - primary
12. select 1
13. press enter, enter (or the last default sector-number)
14. press w to write changes & exit
15. You have just created linux partition on your usb stick
16. Now format this partition - mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb1
17. mount formatted partition again - mount -t ext2 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb/usb0
18. Now ftp e2 tar.gz to /mnt/usb/usb0
19. execute cd /mnt/usb/usb0
20. execute tar -zxvf 9000.tar.gz, wait few minutes to decompress all. (wait for prompt)
21. after decompress type, sync


to unmount just

cd /
umount /dev/sdb1

Last, a hard reset and wait 30 sec.
This must work, press 2 or 3 on your remote for 5 sec before booting.
I just copied an experts advice and added a few small things.
Succes.

I downloaded the image and followed olep instructions in this thread but although there was no apparant issues it has been on booting for about 30 /40 minutes
Is there a better way to load this?

Hi!

Step by step how to:

First install a multiboot as mbd said earlier if u do not have it already with your image (flash it like u r flashing a new image and remember to rename it as "usb_update.img". I know that a multiboot image comes with pgi image but you have to flash it separatly.

Get a usb stick, say 2, 4, 6 gb, etc.

Make partitions as you like but not less than 1gb for each partition, using the following commands via telnet:

fdisk /dev/sdb
Create 4 partition (exemple) at the USB stick with


n for new partition
w for saving the partition

Format each partition

If you have e2 in flash then,

mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb1 -L ext2
mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb2 -L ext2
mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb3 -L ext2
mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb4 -L ext2


FOR PGI IMAGES in flash:

mkfs.ext2 -I 128 /dev/sdb1 -L ext2
mkfs.ext2 -I 128 /dev/sdb2 -L ext2
mkfs.ext2 -I 128 /dev/sdb3 -L ext2
mkfs.ext2 -I 128 /dev/sdb4 -L ext2

mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb

with FTP copy the image u want (anyimage.tar.gz) to /mnt/usb
TELNET
cd /mnt/usb
tar -vzxf anyimage.tar.gz
sync
rm anyimage.tar.gz
cd /
umount /dev/sdb1

Repeat this procedure for every partition with other images

exit telnet

Then, upon reboot press and hold the relevant number of the multiboot button on your remote control until you see multi or sdb1, 2,.. or Enigma (deppending on tha multiboot you have or just flashed), then wait a few more seconds and then release the remote button. if u have done everything right then it should boot into e2 image.

Good luck

Hi Thanks for your response
It did not work this is the l tried to install the image
I have a flash image of PGI 1.5.1 installed and then I installed a multiboot image (Multiboot IpBox serie 9xxx) which l downloaded some time back
I used a 4 gb,
Make partitions as you like but not less than 1gb for each partition, using the following commands via telnet:
fdisk /dev/sdb
Created 1 partition as only want an E2 image with PGi in flash
n for new partition
w for saving the partition

Format each partition
As I have PGi 1.5.1 final installed in flash

FOR PGI IMAGES in flash:
mkfs.ext2 -I 128 /dev/sdb1 -L ext2
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb

with FTP copy the image u want (anyimage.tar.gz) to /mnt/usb
TELNET
cd /mnt/usb
tar -vzxf anyimage.tar.gz
sync
rm anyimage.tar.gz
cd /
umount /dev/sdb1

exit telnet
I then restarted the power to the box holding 2 on the remote
Received multiboot 2 (boot from USB memory stick, with internal HDD)
on STB then booting and it goes no further

The only thing l can see wrong must be the multiboot image
I didn't understand mbd reply "D.L file.[ flash ver]" and installed

Can you see anything wrong
Thanks
