I've always used openmultiboot with images and kernels stored on a usb stick for bootups. For the last few months I've used Satdreamgr in flash and it always recognized the usb stick for quick image reboots.

After the latest version of Satdreamgr, the openmultiboot usb stick is not recognized anymore and has to be removed in order for the receiver to boot up. Tried restoring various back dated versions of backups to the usb stick, just in case it was damaged, but nothing changed. I did the same with two new usb sticks of same size. Also, uninstalled openmultiboot from Satdreamgr in flash, then reinstalled it after a hard boot. But, it would only allow me to install to the hard drive. There used to be an option to use hard drive or usb stick.

I don't mind having openmultiboot on the hard drive, but a couple of years ago, after an image update in flash, the hard drive was locked out and I lost many recordings. For that reason I chose to always use a usb stick for openmultiboot.

I guess I'll post this on the Satdreamgr site too.
