If the modem continuously restarts while loading falcon then the options file is corrupt. We should sticky the procedure for recovering the options file as it is posted almost weekly.

Use the iDirect iNFINITI recovery procedure and use the root password recovery procedure to load the modem.  Ignore the part about changing the actual password and then load the options file via cat > falcon.opt.  If that does not resolve the issue you may have a bad linux installation.  But try the first method then move forward

Agree with the sticky.  I think I have posted that extract 10-15 times not.  Agree with Dot and Matt - Stop Falcon (and stop the rebooting) and use the recovery procedures to recover your unit (basically cat a good opt into the unit).  


Matt, welcome aboard.  Hope all is well with you in your new enviro...

You have to catch it quickly.  It can be done.
