Weerd msg console m4100-d12g

Hi,
On a netgear m4100-d12g I'm seeing the following when the device is starting up:
"Linking libproc_libs.so to /lib/libproc_libs.so
Invalid image name -"

I don't understand where 'Invalid image name' is comming from?
This msg is not present on an identical switch.
Any help is welcome.

Reposting this here in the proper forum! :)

  • RMA accepted for this device, thanks for the help in here and to the Netgear representative who has confirmed the RMA (as the ticket is already closed, I can't thank him for his help).

    Hi tammtamm,

     

    Welcome to our community! :)

     

    May I know where are you seeing this? Is it from the console/ telnet/ GUI? Do you still have access to the web admin page? If yes, please try to re-install the firmware or update it to the latest firmware version. 

     

    You may download it here.

     

    Regards,

      Hi there,

      Thanks for your answer.

      I'm seeing this in the console, before asking here, I already tried to upgrade the FW but to no avail.

      An other thing that I'm seeing is that I'm not able to boot on the backup image (image2 in my case):

      (M4100-D12G) #clear config

      Are you sure you want to clear the configuration? (y/n)y

        tammtamm,

         

        Were you able to press "q" while it boots up so that we can push the firmware image 2 on the boot menu? I believe that this is also covered with lifetime chat support.

         

        You may open a ticket here.

         

        Regards,
