1. did an usual software update of openpli 2.1 beta on dm800 hd pvr
2. it restarted itself automatically
3. now it keep standing by on "Dream Multimedia" "dhcp.." "/flash/vmlinux.gz"
4. after certain period of time it does do automatically restart of the box and go again to line #3 (nothing on screen)
I can't connect to the box. Tried also to restart while pressing the front button - this allowed me to use the bootloader (#84) over telnet, but nothing seems to be wrong there.
I really appreciate for any help as I would like to avoid re-flashing due to missing backup of all configurations / settings

I got exactly the same problem last night, i did leave it without power for 10 minutes after that it did boot just fine.
I have left it off now for 6 hours to cool down without power - still '/flash/vmlinuz.gz' and this is it
I'm thinking out loud - maybe there are ways to set different kernel parameters using the bootloader setup or load a different kernel etc? If none of this works - maybe I can somehow still get access to the fs of the current flash in order to save config files as this is the most precious content I'm afraid of loosing
Guys, any help what so ever is very much appreciated!

Now you see why backups are created while a computer is running as it's supposed to, it becomes considerably more difficult AFTER the computer has died...
If you can't boot the DB, I guess your only choice would be to boot it from USB or network & once running mount the flash partitions & recover your files. How difficult that is depends on how knowledgeable you are w/ the DB. The wiki has a how to for booting from USB that could help. IIRC some of the steps assume a running DB so you'd need to come up w/ alternative methods on a PC (unless you have a 2nd DB).
Good luck,
