When upgrading the firmware on your PopcornHour A-100 Network Media Tank, you might end up with a hung machine before any operations take place. You'll know this has happened because your TV screen will go black as soon as you start the process. If this happens to you, there's a simple solution.

So I've been using the awesome SwissCenter media streaming server with my PopcornHour A-100 for a while now. Over the weekend, Windows XP decided it didn't want to run on my file server any longer (yeah, I know... :) ). In it's place I installed Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron". After migrating my SwissCenter settings over to the new Linux install, everything worked, except SwissCenter no longer showed up on the Sources page on the A-100.
