    hi all, i have for the last few years owned a vu solo.
    i was/am currently running blackhole 2.0.3 on it and thought tonight i would got to 2.0.5.
    but whenever i load it to my box via usb and it loads. then when i restart my solo i get nothing but a blank screen.
    i then read that 2.0.4 would not run on the solos because of the amount of ram/rom or something likr that.
    so is this the end of my blackhole days ?
    many thanks,

    i have flashed 2.0.5. and 2.0.4. and just get a blank screen :23_002:
    so i have now reverted back to 2.0.3


    taken from the second paragraph of the 2.0.4. image on here "Solo and Duo only:
    The 1920x1080 framebuffer support has required extra Ram usage. For this reason the old Solo and Duo models do not have enough free ram to run the curent images with these new features."

    so not looking good and if 2.0.4. dont work i dont see how 2.0.5 will work ? !!


    taken from first sentance of 2.0.5 image on here, and no mention of a solo. "New: HQ 5 Full Hd Skin 1920x1080 (duo2, solo2, soloSe, uno, ultimo, zero)
    New: OpenGL animations and Xbmc (duo2, solo2, soloSe)"

    the latest BH is ::::::::: Black Hole 2.1.5
    which is only 55mbs and I would try this one as it has latest drivers etc and better compatibility with newer plugins etc.....
    for example pluginskinmover where you can move all your plugins,etc to a usb stick freeing up the box itself
    Make sure you have a backup copy of the present one to fall back on...
    But you wont be able to use a personal backup on latest image..

    That is complete and utter nonsense, the solo and duo can run the 1080 frame buffer just fine and do in ViX.
