Maybe this is a dumb question, but at that point in the boot process doesn't the loader code hand control over to the kernel to keep talking to the console port? Any chance at all there's a speed mismatch? What are the LEDs doing on the unit? Charles -- Charles Sprickman spork@inch.com On Fri, 25 Oct 2002, Paul Farber wrote:
I've recently gotten a hold of and older chassis and the console port (after booting) shows the bootloader version, then "Kernel Loading.. OK" then it stops.
I tried to download 4.1.59 to it via the console port and it seemed to work (by using the AT{ZF} command after the bootloader prompt) and it formatted the flash, uncompressed some files and rebooted... right back to the "Kernel Loading... OK" prompt.
Dip switched 1,2 are on and the rest are off. This originally had 2x 48VDC PSA/PSUs but since I don't have that voltage available at my office I took them out and put in a single 70A 120VAC PS with only the NMC, ARC and 2 DSPs.... could the different PS have anything to do with it?
Any ideas???
