Booting... Stuck Again
I verified the MD5 Checksum also.
I thought, I need to load the lower version then I tried IPS-4240-K9-sys-4.1-4-S91.img but similar error.
I have noticed one thing.. The CONSOLE connection is very slow, I have to type twice to write anything.
Please let me know how i can sort the problem.
