Hi,

I'm new to dsl and have install embeded and backed up while shuting down. Now every time dsl starts it tries to restore but locks up with 100%cpu.

Is there a way to startup embedded using qemu and to skip the restore. I dont appear to get any boot options and ctrl 'c' or break does not work ?

thanks is advance,
olan

whats your machine spec such as RAM ?

on the boot menu, try typing the command "DSL TORAM" then <enter>. Try that command with your usb drive out of your pc.

see if it will boot up and then check your CPU if its still reading 100
