Release 5.2 PRO 01/09/2005
- Advanced Secure Install procedure
After further and deeper testings about the squashfs problem, I found that low free memory is
_almost everytime_ the main cause for having files corrupted during install.
This means that newer squashfs versions need much more memory to work, mainly because the squashfs packing
blocks size reached 65536 bytes on latest version, to allow a bigger compression ratio.
Last Squashfs v2.2 has however some smart embedded options when working on constrained memory systems,
so it's higly recommended to use this one on very limited memory envinronments, like Dreambox is.
Keeping that news in mind, I tuned up the whole multiboot install procedure, and added a new option:
if empty or corrupted files are found, a new button "Kill enigma and retry" is provided on the error log window.
By selecting that button, FlashWizard will first kill enigma process, then will retry to install the image.
This new procedure has proved to resolve almost all files corrupted installations, so it is highly
recommended to select it, if errors were found.
But, if errors are still present after the Kill enigma procedure, then is mostly a problem arised in image
packing, expecially when always the same files are listed.
Then, if you decide to continue the install, you should check those files manually when finished, before
rebooting dreambox.
