. 1 Answer SOURCE: I read a bunch of material found on the web. Primarily this led me to believe that the Lynix flash OS has some issues (to say the least). After carefully testing out the mom board voltages I decided that there was probably a software boot issue. I read this at k0lee.com/mediavault/ 'The MV1 has a hard reset which severs the tie to the startup.sh script that calls any of the installed software.'

The material on this site also indicated that the stored files would not be affected by a hard reset. So what the heck. Nothing to lose. I unplugged the power, pressed the reset button and then applied power. Held the reset button for 5 seconds. Held my breath for 30 seconds and the disk light started to flash on the front indicator panel.
After a minute or two of that, the OK light came on. I pressed the power button on the front panel and the it responded. Another miracle? The MV shut down.
I connected to the LAN and powered back on. Every thing worked fine. There was a space issue / startup parameter corruption / enemy electron in the mix that was passed over with the hard reset at start up.
Since there is on access to the OS boot process, (or source code) this is pure speculation. Although, it is reasonable speculation. Posted on Dec 01, 2008.
