The front end crashed when I switched to one of the HDHR tuners in Live TV.
Now ,upon rebooting,the system boots normally up until the frontend tries  
to start,then I get
a location select screen,saving this,the frontend tries to restart and it  
goes back to the location screen in an endless loop.
I really can't seem to stop this long enough to try and kill the FE  
restarts.I can start BE setup but the FE restarts keep going.
I'm preparing to install 12.04.
