When something bad happens in fastboot an error code is generated.
In Windows, when a device is disconnected or failed that error code is:
Code:
C:\>mctest 0x1f
System message code 0x0000001F
A device attached to the system is not functioning.
If we were sane we'd type out that last line.
But no... 0x1f is 31 decimal. 31 interpreted as a Linux error code is:
Code:
31 EMLINK Too many links
(That error is when you have a chain of symbolic links too long and the system suspects that maybe the links are circular.)
It's been like this for over a decade.
In any case, to address your problem.
You have wonky USB. Blow the dust out of connectors, try different cables, different ports. |
And that would explain why you have problems with both your windows environment and the Live DVD. Since you also had problems with a different computer, the problem is likely the cable or the USB port on the NovaAir2. The USB on your computer cannot be completely ruled out, though, since the Live DVD is also using the same port. The second computer could have had an entirely different problem.
