After installing it, all the hardware works using the Windows 
application. I can serve the H3 MediaMVP from my Linux 
box using Windows under Vmware.

But I don't want to run a Windows server on my network.

So I have installed mvpboot on Linux which seems to work:

syslog:Jan  1 20:52:47 localhost mvpboot[6790]: got mvpboot request
packet from 192.168.1.112:2053 (seq=1 id1=babe id2=fafe
hwaddr=000dfe0c4950 client_addr=3232235888 client_port=16882
guiserv_addr=0 guiserv_port=0 conserv_addr=0 conserv_port=0 serv_addr=0
serv_port=0)
syslog:Jan  1 20:52:47 localhost mvpboot[6790]: client hwaddr:
000dfe0c4950 ip: 192.168.1.112 port: 16882
syslog:Jan  1 20:52:47 localhost mvpboot[6790]: sending mvpboot reply
packet to 192.168.1.112:16882 (seq=1 id1=fafe id2=babe
hwaddr=0011d8356e73 client_addr=3232235888 client_port=2048
guiserv_addr=3232235777 guiserv_port=5906 conserv_addr=3232235777
conserv_port=6337 serv_addr=3232235777 serv_port=16886)

I have also installed tftp server instances on ports 69 and 16869 

The logs also show copies of the Windows dongle.bin and 
dongle.bin.ver being served by tftp from /tftpboot :

Jan  1 22:00:02 localhost atftpd[10528]: Advanced Trivial FTP server
started (0.7)
Jan  1 22:00:02 localhost atftpd[10528]: Serving dongle.bin.ver to
192.168.1.112:2049
Jan  1 22:00:02 localhost atftpd[10528]: Serving dongle.bin to
192.168.1.112:2050
Jan  1 22:00:07 localhost atftpd[10528]: timeout: retrying...
Jan  1 22:00:20 localhost last message repeated 5 times

The display on the MVP it suggests that it is downloading the application
and then it seems to fail to contact the servers ( I guess for
the servers/services configured in the Windows specific dongle.bin ). But it 
seems to keep retrying the mvpboot request:

Jan  1 22:00:22 localhost mvpboot[6790]: got mvpboot request packet from
192.168.1.112:2048 (seq=1 id1=babe id2=fafe hwaddr=000dfe0c4950
client_addr=3232235888 client_port=16882 guiserv_addr=0 guiserv_port=0
conserv_addr=0 conserv_port=0 serv_addr=0 serv_port=0)
Jan  1 22:00:22 localhost mvpboot[6790]: client hwaddr: 000dfe0c4950 ip:
192.168.1.112 port: 16882
Jan  1 22:00:22 localhost mvpboot[6790]: sending mvpboot reply packet to
192.168.1.112:16882 (seq=1 id1=fafe id2=babe hwaddr=0011d8356e73
client_addr=3232235888 client_port=2048 guiserv_addr=3232235777
guiserv_port=5906 conserv_addr=3232235777 conserv_port=6337
serv_addr=3232235777 serv_port=16886)

Attempts to contact 192.168.1.112 using telnet fail, whether the
MVP booted from Windows or whether it attempted to load the
application from Linux. However, this IP responds to a ping which
suggests some functionality has loaded successfully. 

Would supplying another dongle.bin and dongle.bin.ver from
Linux be likely to work ? If so does a set of precompiled 
files which work on the H3 exist, likely to enable me to prove
this all works, prior to my exploring the next stage which
will involve supplying a NFS aware client from Linux to the 
MVP ? 

Any help or suggestions appreciated.
