B2 keeps blinking blue led after reboot

nitram · Post by **nitram** » 29 Nov 2008, 08:35

I initiated a "reboot" from the commandline but after that b2 never returned.
Blue led kept on blinking, had to pull the power (on/off button didn't respond). Starting B2 with button pushed and power on, he starts to blink, released the button but B2 keeps on blinking, haven't got a clue what it's doing.
What is the procedure to recover B2 without loosing data?

Thanks for any help.

Why did you

Starting B2 with button pushed and power on, he starts to blink ..

?

This is the indicated method to 'reinstall a destroyed system'. (i.e. reformat and install fresh copy of OS) (see usermanual : Installing & Reinstalling Software)

Starting the Bubba is just putting power to it.

If you DID format the Bubba, look elsewhere in this forum for exact details on how to prepare a repare USB stick.

Thans Hape, the "button push" method i remembered from the first few times i installed/reinstalled bubba. This was still in my head.
I now just put the power on and he's working again

. Sometimes solutions are so obvious that you need someone else to get you there.

Thanks,
