Somehow while doing a upgrade in Diablo last night I don't even get the menu to dualboot. Anyone know how I get the menu back?

Try PB Dualboot menu. Just put it in and your dualboot should come back. It happened to me and everyone else when upgrading to Diablo. Just do a search for dualboot menu. There is even a thread on Diablo trashing dualboot. Always do a backup.

By far the easiest way to get a bootmenu back (that i have found) is Penguinbait's Bootmenu installer. It will automagically scan for all ext2/3 partitions on your internal SD cards (both of them) and create a boot menu that will boot to all of them.

Actually this wasn't a reflash to Diablo, this was an upgrade within diablo (when you get the exclamation point at the top indicating a new update) I'll give the suggestions here a go and report back.

When was the last time you updated diablo??? there was an SSU update to diablo just a week or so ago that erased the boot menu.. the SSU is an update tool that make it so you dont have to relash when there is an OS upgrade.. so it probably does its own flash and in the process kills the boot menu. it shows up like the exclamation point too.

Not to sound like a broken record, but I just did another live Update and now even PB's .deb doesn't seem to get my Dual boot back, I get a message that it can't install. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If Penguinbait's boot menu installer or install tools is already installed, remove using App Manager, then re-install the boot menu installer.
