I think I already facing what has gone wrong - I'm purely accidentally packed the qbootup script where everything is commented out with # and not the version that I use when the 8000 is active. I told you once uploaded the Kit 2.1 & sorry - just wanted to soak up the sun a little too .-) I'm sure but I think the bug fixed now why it would not boot with Dumbo, just my Merlin has to boot from a USB stick, now it is time for the eSATA stick.
