Upgrade from 6.9.1 to 6.10 hangs
Hi.
In my RN528X I had installed the firmware 6.9.5 patch 1 release and I downloaded and installed version 6.10.0. But at the time of the reboot after the upgrade the boot reaches 99% and then ...
Hi,
How to do that? There is no IP-address so I have no access to the NAS any more.

Hi,
Not sure if this will help but I had this identical problem today with a 204 unit. I had rebooted prior to the update and still it sat stuck for an hour at 99%. Multiple reboots failed to solve it and I was only semi-sure I had a valid backup.

I was ready to factory reset but instead did OS-Reinstall - big sigh, it rebooted and took a little longer but came up fine.
Once back on volumes all online, but had to redo network settings and admin password was defaulted.
Not sure but it might help in your case.

Sorry to inform but I fowlloing the instruction but nerver get "boot menu message". Even if I hold the reset buttom in for two minutes the display just show "Booting..."
Now I tried to remov all 8 disks and boot the system and press the reaset butom when power the NAS on. Still after two minutes the Displa shows "Booting..." and the blue LED on the front turns off. Now I think after reading that som other person have the same type of experiance as I have that NETGEAR has a real problem with the new 6.10 when trying to upgrade from 5.9.1 :(

In similar cases there often is an IP address and the logs can be downloaded. So maybe download RAIDar, and see if it can discover your NAS.
