OS6.2.4 on Pro 6: Communication Error
Current state: "Cannot connect discovery server" on LCD; device is visible and data are accessible; web interface shows "Error Reporter: Communication Error" right after accepting name and password.
The story: Pro 6 Pioneer was upgraded with Xeon X3210 CPU, 2x2Gb RAM, had 6x3TB drives in it and was running 6.2.4 for some time. Then, on sudden blackout, UPS battery failed, and Pro 6 didn't turned on. I realized that it has a problem with PSU (thanks for the community!) and repaired the PSU by replacing 6 bad condensers in it, $0.12 each. Hardware is working fine now. All the data were backed up, so I installed a new set of disks and started my experiments.
So far I have tried Factory Reset, USB recovery tool, OS reinstall - no luck, still "Communication Error". Now I found a VGA header for Pro 6 and USB keyboard and ready to try something else to restore the ReadyNAS OS6. I suspect that some part of OS6 interface is failed to start, but, being a newbie in Linux, I have decided to ask for the community's help. So, have any ideas or suggestions (other than installing a Synology DSM on this box)?
Should be fixed now.
The USB Boot Recovery you did messed up the EEPROM. Looks like you did some other things that may have messed things up a bit too.

I have an idea. I have sent you a PM.

Yes, it is working just perfect now. I suppose that my multiple efforts to do USB recovery (some of which have failed) may have added the troubles to the initial problem.
Thank you one more time, mdgm! :manhappy:
