I think I have at least a little bit of an idea about why the unit would not detect DC or boot reliably. It seems to have something to do with Hijack or some setting associated with it. I have attached a boot log (no HDs attached) which first shows a successful boot and then a nonsuccessful boot. I noticed that the unit would always fail at the same spot which is when it loads the custom animated boot logo. I do not know what this has to do with not reading the state of the powerjack, but it certainly seems they are related. Mark, do you have any idea why a boot logo or anything involved with Hijack would cause the two problems of unreliable booting and no sense of power jack? I also noticed it says tuner: loopback=1, ID= -1 even though the Hijack menu was set for a normal boot.

Thanks for any help,
Stu
