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.

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):

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.

The error message 'Invalid image name -' is still there nor am I able to boot on image2.
Am I missing something?
