boing bomb updates
« on: April 06, 2008, 02:41:12 AM »
Is it just me or did the boingbag updates (1-2) just destroy my computer? It doesn't boot at all, it just crash loops.

How can I uninstall this junk? what needs to be removed to get back to good old 3.9 that worked?

Any know how, thanks in advance.

It could be the Rom update in BB2.
Try booting with a floppy disk, and using a text editor to amend the startup sequence to add "SKIPROMUPDATES" to the setpatch line.
eg setpatch SKIPROMUPDATES
