I got the VOV Debug tool in the mail yesterday. I'm not sure which model server I have as it doesn't say. It's an older model, though, as it does not have the pins for the jumper. I set it up and successfully booted from a usb and started installing fedora server. The install errored out (probably due to a faulty iso) and after that, it won't boot from the USB anymore. When I restart, I get to the point where it says "Press DEL to enter setup" and it freezes. It doesn't matter if I press delete or not, nothing happens. Any ideas?

As an aside, the VOV cable is an awesome little tool. It worked great.

Update: The jump drive is the issue. I can't seem to get a good version of Fedora Server onto it. I tried Unetbootin, but it doesn't list the server version of fedora in it's menu. I downloaded the iso, and tried to install it using the disk image writer in Ubuntu, but that is what makes it freeze up upon booting.

So I've confirmed that I'm getting a good image on the thumb drive and booted it on a different machine, but I'm still having the boot stop at the same point on the Mediasmart server. Any ideas?

Not that I have booted to a usb stick on a Mediasmart server, but I have read that only one usb port (I believe it is the rear/lower) is boot-able. Could be wrong, I would try different usb ports.
That's all I have, Good Luck
