Hello there ..

My DBOX is showing 'loading kernel' on the front LCD and thats as far as I can get.

I've downloaded a copy of the Flashing Assistant thats mentioned in various threads, but it just fails and most of the error messages are in German.

Is there any way I can now connect to the DBOX? I've just managed to get hold of a NULL Modem cable so I was wanting to try that (via the console port), but my question is:

a) How do I connect using the console port? Can I using HyperTerminal?
b) What should be the COM settings on the COM Port
c) How do I load images via the console? Or is it simply a case of resetting via the console?

Have you tried IFA with the NULL MODEM Lead connected? (as well as the crossover CAT5 lead) ?

Whatever you say, say nothing when you talk about you know what for if you know who might hear you, you know what youll get. Youll be sent off to you know where for you would not know how long. Maybe I could search through the threads so you dont have to ??

hi SG8 .. No I havent tried with BOTH the NULL Modem AND Crossover cable as:

a) I've only just got the NULL modem cable
b) I didnt realise that both were required

Will try that tonight and post back. Basically, your saying that with BOTH cables connected, I should be able to flash with IFA.

With regards to images, I was previously running Commando_6 version 2, in your experiance, which is best? I've heard a lot about Sportster images .. what u reckon?
