Addon installationg taking a long time.

Hi everyone. I've recently done a factory default reset on my NV+. I got it setup the way I wanted to (haven't added any files yet) and I thought I'd install some addons to try out. I installed BashPodder and EVA Folder Watcher. Before I restarted my device it looked like everything was installed correctly. I restarted my device and it has said on the LCD for nearly two hours "Booting...Installing addon".

Is this normal? Should I restart the device? I didn't see a reset switch on the back of the NAS. Any help will be appreciated.

    Those add-ons are very old. It's possible that they don't work well on recent firmware for some reason (assuming of course that you are running recent firmware)

    The NAS is hung on boot trying to install an add-on.
