The default timeout is 30 seconds - the window of oppurtunity is plenty long IMHO. There's been a few previous posts about changing the timeout/default selection - can't recall the specific search keywords but you should be able to track them down with the search feature.

Basically you add the line
MENU_TIMEOUT=3

Okay, thanks for the info, I'll look into it. I just used penguin bait's clone deb so I'm not familiar with famoush's flasher, but I think I can take it from here.

It should be noted to anybody reading this thread with questions about bootmenu, the .zip contains a perfectly good README, so do what the file says and read it. . . .

Hi
I have updated the sys to the Diablo and rerun the whole process. But at the end of initfs_flash, it reported an error "unkown initfs version 2008-24, cannot install bootmenu"
So, do we have any update solution for Diablo?

Leafpad, vi, emelfm2 are OK, M$Word, tablet/notes, notepad, wordpad are NOT OK. Penalty? It ranges from bootmenu showed up with 'funny' character at the end of the choice or, even worse, continous reboot. If continuous reboot, dont panic, just press the escape button at the menu screen, and hold on to it, that will take you to a flash boot for you to change things. Do not have to reflash for this reason.

How do I upgrade my MMC clone to the new diablo kernel?
Could I flash the new kernel and then copy just the new kernel to the MMC partition?

Will try again, thanks.
