That should not happen unless you are holding START+SELECT though, right? There might be something else going on here.

Also, help requests should be posted to this forum instead of the general one: http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?showforum=48

You will generally be more well received in that forum with help requests than in the General talk one.

It will happen.
Firmware Update from 2.1.0 and higher has two steps:

1. The .img files which get flashed whenever you hold START and SELECT while switching it on.
2. The filesystem updates (usually a .tar.gz-archive) with a gp2xupdate.gpu.
Before 2.1.0, you needed to run gp2xupdate.gpu yourself from the Utility menu.

From 2.1.0 on while booting the gp2x checks for the gp2xupdate.gpu file and if it's on the card, it asks if the firmware update should continue. That's what happens to you currently.
If GPH were smart, they would've implemented that the update files get deleted off the card after a successful update... that's one line more in their scripts.

So: Delete them from the card and everything is fine.
