I am preparing to reinstall my Bubba Two (have by mistake locked out shell access...) but I am unsure of what files to copy to my USB disk (that has a partition table).

Looking at http://update.excito.net/install/latest/bubba-two/ I find the image file itself, "b2-install-2.0.zip" that download and extract the contents to /install folder of the USB stick.

But do I need to copy the file "u-boot.bin" and place it in the root of the USB stick?

Are there any other files that MUST be in the root directory or shall ALL the files from the image file "b2-install-2.0.zip" be in the /install folder?

Hi CrazyBubbaUser,

When reinstalling the u-boot.bin should not be on the stick. The only thing needed for reinstall is the b2-install zip archive.only thing needed I.e. no u-boot.bin, that file is used to upgrade the bootloader (bios) and should not be needed on any new Bubba.

Unzip this on your usb medium. It then should create the install folder on the disk/stick. Say that you are on a Windows machine and your stick/disk is F: After unzipping the archive onto the F: drive you should end up with something like:

F:/install/install.itb
F:/install/8313E21.itb
F:/install/bubba.cfg
F:/install/payload/bubbaroot-xxxxxx-yyyy.tar.gz

It does not matter If there are other files present outside the install folder.

After this the stick/drive should be ready for install use.

Thx for confirming this Tor.

The reason for why I didn't manage to get the rescue image to be installed was probably that I kept the power button depressed too long. If I keep the power button pressed in for NO MORE than the stipulated 5 seconds after that the Bubba light has started to blink, the install process starts correctly.

I now have a "new" and fresh Bubba Two configuration again.
