[arm-allstar] Won't Boot - tried all the usual stuff

[David McGough]

Are you sure you've got the most recent firmware image from the 
HamVoIP.org website??  

Are you trying to flash the SD card from a MS Windows or Linux system?

The most recent firmware to flash from Linux is:

https://hamvoip.org/RPi2/RPi2-3-4_V1.6-14_Allstar.img.xz

or

The most recent firmware to flash from MSWindows is:

https://hamvoip.org/RPi2/RPi2-3-4_V1.6-14_Allstar.exe
