As reported on the wiki page, the tool failed under Ubuntu 8.04 (http://wiki.davincidsp.com/index.php?title=Serial_Boot_and_Flash_Loading_Utility#Known_Problems). This test was done using a USB-serial adapter. We suspected it was related to a driver issue since it was observed that the serial adapter driver was much older on Ubuntu. The program worked fine on another test system running Fedora 7.
As the recommended OSes for the DVSDK remain SUSE and RHEL, I would recommend trying one of those two if possible. That sounds a little lame, but limited resources prevent us from trying every possible OS/mono version combo. You could also try updating to the latest 2.0 mono release. Regards, Daniel Daniel J.
