Did you manage to get your iLiad up and running again?

I had a similar problem after hard-resetting the device. In my case booting without the CF card inserted helped to recover my device.

The firmware update removes all custom startup scripts, so e.g. the Unbrickable script has to be reinstalled again.

btw, what does the progress bar actually represent at the bottom?
is it just automatically increasing or is it really tracking the progess of the boot sequence.
.. i suspect, it doesnt really represent anything
You're right, it doesn't correctly represent the boot-up status. I used to have a custom script loaded during boot-up which added about 5 seconds to the bootup time. The progress bar simply stayed at 100% for exactly that 5 extra seconds.
