ERROR: can't get kernel image!
Hi,
Overnight switch malfunction. I managed to connect to the switch with miniUSB console port using HyperTerminal port 23. I switched off/on couple of times. This is the error logs i get. :(
Please help. I am attaching the pictures of switch too.

Hi MM_tech,
Welcome to the community! :)
