xen package installed on x86 and stuck in boot loop

RouterOS General
1

Hi
I installed the xen package onto my VIA EPIA board running routeros and now the machine is in a continuous loop it reboots after displaying something like loading elf image or something like that, it flashes on really quickly before rebooting.

I would love to know if there is a way for me to recover from this problem. I really have no idea what to do. Possibly boot up from a usb version of linux and modify the boot parameters of routeros ?

If not, how can i reinstall routeros onto this server without having to purchase a new licence.
So upset, just spent 4 hours setting up this router and didnt backup ;((((((

and i cant install anything after that from netinstall. What should i do.

well, if netinstall does not work, then as a solution you can attach storage device to any other PC and install routeros on drive that way - like plug CF card to PC and install on CF card, or attach hard drive and install routeros on that, then reattach it to your x86 router.

no. just do not format disk by yourself. use netinstall utility or ROS Install CD
