A friend gave me his broken Rio receiver. It boots up half way, and gets to the screen "Searching for music server." Eventually it times out and then displays the IP and gateway. They are correct, it is connected to my 192.168.1.xxx subnet.

I also have two other Rio receivers in my home that operate just fine.

So it seems it is not loading the "second" kernel? Any ideas what may have gone wrong? I am thinking the next step could be to connect up the serial port to get a console.

He said it died after he tried to load a different ARF file. I'm not sure how this could affect the unit but something has happened.

Any advice would be appreciated.
