I initially did the power off and boot up with no HD attached and got the Abort Vector message. Also, the player doesn't boot up the car either. When I run the self-test (CTRL-T) the drive spins up and everything sounds OK but during a normal boot I hear no drive activity on boot and it looks like the kernel isn't even loading.

I will try to re-download the kernel and re-apply and see what happens there.

Any chance that one of the developers can tell me what that message actually means and/or what the player is trying to do? That might help me narrow down the problem or let me know that I need to send the unit in for repair.

-Thanks
