It is NOT the bootmenu problem. Your choices 2 and 3 are hosted. your internal card/clone is NOT working. Your options:
1) take out your internal card, and stare at it for 10 seconds and put it back. Sometimes that would work.
2) take out your internal card, and redo the cloning process if your card is still readable by anything. Chances are, they are dead.
What card are you using and when was the last time you access the card and what did you do to the card just before the update?

the card is a pny optima 4GB card. i was booting from it most of the day right before i booted in diablo and ran the update.
any more suggestions would be great.

installed to my 810 from application manager. 71.9 meg free in memory. no red pill. not booting from card. nothing major onboard besides a couple of 3rd party apps.
app. manager lists update as 'broken', no explanation.
clearly please - is there any solution besides reflashing?

MANY thanks to Bunanson for creating the separate thread with pointers to the old msgs showing how to reset the bootmenu after Diablo upgrade. I have my old stuff back now and am very happy. (AND I've done a Backup!)
When someone has a chance, can I get a reminder how to set it to boot from the SD again? I have tried chroot (using the instructions in the linked posting) but it keeps defaulting to the wrong choice.
I have the OS cloned to my internal card and can boot from that by scrolling (D-pad) to the right option. I'd just like to make that option my default again.
Thanks!

If N800, put the cloned card in internal slot, will it boot?
OK, it is an N810 right, there is NO internal slot. Well, is your card still able to read/write? Try just write a test file to it. If it refused, you have a corrupted card. If you can write on it, then you will have to do a detective work, to find out whether the problem is with bootmenu or the problem lies with a corrupted clone card. Keep trying, we will get to the bottom of it. Dont get depressed.

its a n800 sorry i didn't not mention that before.
i switched the external card to internal card slot and it boots up!
thanks for the advice, this will work fine, maybe even better since i can now have the easier to get to external spot free for my other cards with data on them.

How many times do I have to say this, DO NOT INSTALL THE "Operating System" UPDATE AND DO NOT LEAVE THE DEVICE IN "Red Pill" MODE.
Anybody who leaves the device in Red Pill and does random **** because they think they know what they're doing will get exactly what they deserve (and depending on the repositories you have installed, this is frequently a reboot-loop with the misnamed and frequently misused "Operating System" package).
Please do not leave your devices in Red Pill mode unless you either A. Understand what the hell you're doing or B. Have a damn good reason to do so.

Hopefully, as the general said, it's for the better.
