Peter, Help from the man himself! There's something you don't see everyday!
I can't believe that the console speed was all it was - I set it to 115200 And now all is well. I had thought about specifying the speed earlier but seeing as colo 1.10 booted without it set - I thought it best to leave it alone. For your info here's the output to the commands you requested; > variable boot-option=3 console-speed=115200 menu-option=4 unit-type=Qube2 >nvflags 0: . IDE LBA disabled 1: . IDE LBA48 disabled 2: . IDE timing disabled 3: . IDE slave enabled 4: * Console disabled >noop 115200 Produces no output Thanks for your help, greatly appreciated! Cheers Nick B
