If your H3 is the same as my H2, the GUI server message is presented if mvprelay can't be reached. It is caused by the MVP booting a flash image of the Hauppauge dongle it comes pre-loaded with. Martin is correct in stating that once you get this message, you need to power down the MVP because I believe it never goes to the network to try and load a dongle again, it'll just keep complaining about the GUI server.
My comment about taking the Hauppauge server off the NW when trying to boot from Linux still stands. Reduce the number of variables, get it to boot, then try having two servers on the network.
Cheers...
