How to downgrade BIOS 07/26/2010 FLAME6-MB V2.0 back to 10/03/2008 FLAME6-MB V1.6
My Pro Business Edition is not working properly any more after I rolled back a OS6 install to OS4.
I suspect it could be caused by the BIOS upgrade to 07/26/2010 FLAME6-MB V2.0 I done before the upgrade to OS6.
OS6 was unstable so I rolled back to OS4. Now I run RAIDiator 4.2.31 and not every thing is working properly anymore so as a last resort I like to downgrade the BIOS to 10/03/2008 FLAME6-MB V1.6.
Does anyone has the files for 10/03/2008 FLAME6-MB V1.6 to perform the downgrade?
The motherboards of the -100, -200, and even the Ultra6Plus are all identical. The processor they shipped with is different. I'm pretty sure all of the -200 units shipped with the latest BIOS. Most -100's didn't, and that's what I had and updated.
I remember reading in the forum that there was a very early version of the motherboard that shipped in a very limited number of systems. But the BIOS update would recognize that and not do the update.

Since many Pro6 units shipped with that BIOS and others have updated to it (I updated 4 units), I very much doubt that's the problem. What are the specific problems that you are observing?
My backup options with rsync are not working.
Sounds logical that nobody will have the old BIOS file.
Those 4 Pro 6 that you upgraded were that all rndp6000-100 or the newer model rndp6000-200? If those were rndp6000-100 then probably the BIOS is not the problem. Allhough as I remember well in the forum other people were also unsuccessful in upgrading a rndp6000-100 to OS6.
I moved all my data from this nas and will do a reinstall of the firmware later this week.
Thanks for your remarks
