I went to install the screen saver on my PW2. Saw the link for the Package installer. Installed the KUAL extension, put the .bin file into /mrpackages and told KUAL to install it. It claimed success, said "restarting UI" and the Kindle rebooted.

It gets ~90% of the way through the reboot and hangs. Sits there for a while, then reboots and hangs again. Repeat.

Plugging in a USB connection to a computer, the Kindle shows up as a drive. After I eject it seems to work normally. So I placed the uninstall file into /mrpackages and used KUAL to do Mr Packages install. Again the reboot and hang.

Deleted the /mrpackages and extensions/MRInstaller folders and did a manual reset.

Same problem.

So, I'm not adding/removing ANYthing at this point until I get this resolved. Would appreciate suggestions on how to proceed. USBNetworking works fine and I am comfortable at the command line. Help?
