Mark, I loaded v211 and the reboot problem seems to remain. I still don't know why the breakdance file isn't found. It seems perfecly normal in the directory. I deleted it and recopied it to the Empeg from an archived copy with the same result as shown below:

I then commented out all of the dance= statements in config.ini and now the reboot problem is gone. So, then I noticed that breakdance is the next statement after time_offset= in config.ini so I put the dance= back and commented out the time_offset= statement and it is still ok. Is this related to the sequence of these statements in config.ini? Then I tried putting time_offset= after all of the dance= and the reboot after Analogue Clock in the visuals+ sequence (Flancedoor is right after Analogue Clock in my sequence) is back but now it is balking at stonkdance.raw.

Since Flancedoor is not a big deal for me I'll be ok now with dance= commented out. This seems like a real obscure quirk that isn't worth much time unless it is a clue to something else.

Thanks,

Lynn
