Dear OP plea contact korg directly over your problems. I fear you'll change the motherboard and you will have the same or greater problems. I fear your going to end buying a new Kronos.

Good luck, If you attempt to change motherboard, use great care. Have you eliminated the power supply, are you using a power conditioner or UPS?

Dude I feel for you, and will say a pray. O:)

cachete1966,

In your case, I'd hook up a vga monitor and ps/2 keyboard mouse directly to the existing mobo. Since it's just linux, I would expect the main terminal to be outputted to the vga on the mobo. Perhaps this thread may aide your debugging efforts thread:http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/ ... light=hack

Anyway, the test here is to see if linux is really hung up, or if its just the Kronos display....Sometimes you get a linux kernel panic resulting in lots of debug stuff printed out on the terminal.

Just speculating, but right after Kronos completes loading RAM with the in ram KSC samples, it beeps, then several lights start blinking (tempo, hdd, something else which i can't recall). I'm guessing this point in time, it must have turned on some of the HW automated/assisted features from the Korg specific boards (somewhere here called it the SHARK board). If there's something wrong with this USB driven board, I could imagine it hanging up the OS side of things.

Just some things to try...good luck.

Thanks.

Its not problem with display.

Sometimes run until the piano A001, sound the beep, lights.. But them.... Hang up. Seconds or minutes more...

The mayor times... Hang up before. Dont load complety.

Now i connect monitor and keyboard to mobo.

I write thats appears:

Mount failed for seniluxfs on /selinux: No such file or directory
INIT: version 2.86 booting
INIT: Entering runlevel: 3
Insmodding with Has2nd Internaldisk=0
starting Network Interface Plugging Daemon: eth0

I'm not an expert but I do use Linux machines from time to time.
I searched the error you mentioned:
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel

And couldn't find anything specific, however, usually when a system is having an issue with booting up, it might be related to an issue with its storage, I suspect the operating system in your case is looking for files in order to run the boot sequence, and it fails to find these files so the boot sequence fails.

Bottom line, I think the data on your SSD drive is corrupted, an although you don't have a local service, I'd still contact Korg support - maybe they can give better instruction for reparation this problem?

I think what you need, is a new SSD drive which includes the Kronos file system on it, and this is something which can be sent via mail.

Another option, is getting the Kronos file system on a DVD as a disk image (at least the operating system part - no need for all the sounds).

Once you have that, any computer geek with a portable DVD drive, can connect the DVD drive to the Kronos MB and try to boot the system, if the boot is successful, you know it not a MB issue but a disk issue.
