Status..changed..

O.K., after all... i disassembled the MK 1. coul'nt find any defective looking components...
So i decidet to try it again, checked my connectors of the PC and.. oh wonder...healing processes.... the usb ports worked again (after completeley shutdown and wait for about 10 minutes) and even the serial Port is fine too.....
So i disconnected the hdd from the MK1, attached he serial cable, started hyperterm, oh wonder.. let the penguins fly..... but nothing more....
So.. i flashed again, V 2 final Kernel and here we go, running, showing the logo and... after reconnecting the hdd... even that one is recognized.....

So i decidet myself to do the kernel upgrade again, i chose the developer because of the shell...
After the upgrade... i got an error, which in my oppinion, is the becasue of quitting Emplode application. It sends a player restart and after that the application is ending...

it looks the following:

I did everything twice, even the builder kernel and i did even the HDD preparation twice....

So the status is... better then in the beginning :-) But still not good.

BTW: I received a very fast response from the support by email, i am real satisfyed becasue of that ! So there is a support and there is even a repair service, good to know, even when it will be not needed (puh.. i am glad...).

Greetings from Munich and thank you all for your support !
