Oh, and you have to use the *upper* USB-A receptacle, it seems.

You must not partition the medium, but use it in "USB floppy disk mode".
Put a fat32 on it, with idl4k.scr in the root dir, that should be
enough to intercept the boot flow.

Hi Torsten, 

long time no hear! Good you're still around!

In fact I tried to boot satip-axe from a USB stick but for unknown reasons the
box stuck to the original FW. :-( 

After digging a bit more, it seems that the signal on the two cables coming
from the Hotbird LNB is dead. Also, my other DVB-S2 card refuses to tune in on
these cables. :-( 

No idea why. But this would definitely explain these messages.

I can't tell off hand, but maybe more debugging taps can help to narrow it down?
