I just upgraded (from 266) to the new 275 Hijack Kernel. After this my Unit fails to start up correctly. It hangs showing the following Message "No idle thread poll". This happens in the screen that comes up after the Boot Animation. Flashing back to my old (266) Hijack fixes this.

Has anybody else seen this problem (and a workaround) ?

UPDATE: Here ist the serial output, just the player apps seems to fail. The VFD shows "Starting idle poll thread failed":

So the unit IS booting but with kernel 275 the player app fails to start. The last version that works for me is 273.

Can you post the entire boot log, please.

Sorry, sorry, sorry. I'm just so stupid. i flashed the Mark1 Kernel Image into my Mark 2a. Bad Idea. Don't know how this mistake could happen. Now the correct 275 works fine. :-)

Next time i will carefully look which kernel i'm downloading.

(Still wondering that the wrong kernel got that far when booting the unit)

ok i'm sorry again blaming Hijaack for my mistake :-)

thanks
