No Bootloader Upgrade Prompt on GS105Ev2?
I upgraded a GS105Ev2 to firmware version 1.5.0.5 from an older version (I forget which one) using TFTP. The update went fine, but the switch didn't prompt me to upgrade the bootloader. Another GS105...
Hi gfunkdave,
May I know what is the recent firmware before upgrading it to v1.5.0.5? As per checking in the release notes that "Once FW upgrading completes, please login to switch by web GUI to upgrade boot loader." . It seems that the other switch works fine. Can you try if you can upgrade it via HTTP? Try to reflash firmware and let's see if that will prompt you to choose the correct boot loader.
Regards,
I don't remember what the previous firmware was. It was something before 1.5.0.4.
I have tried re-flashing, and it still does not prompt to update the bootloader.
Can I downgrade to 1.5.0.4, which seems to be the first firmware version that included the new bootloader? The switch that works updated the bootloader when I installed 1.5.0.4 a while back.
