ReadyNAS 104 ERR: Could not mount boot flash #24308679
Hello, My RN104 does not start. It shows in the LCD screen "ERR: Could not mount boot flash" and the power button blinks. It does not respond to the power button and I've removed the HDDs after plugi...
Hi, I have same problem at work with RN10400 :(
I've ecountered many OOM errors after upgrading to 6.4.x and decided to back to 6.2.5 which have worked without any problems since september 2015.
I've used method described on this forum (go to 6.4.0 beta and then to 6.2.4). Unfortunatelly after installing i'm seeing "ERR: Could not mount boot flash" on LCD :-(
I've also tried usb recovery method using recovery tool without any effect (i used many pendrive's without luck).
RAIDar shows TFTP_REQ status so I've tried to use TFTP_Boot package (without success). I'm doing everything like in manual (setting exact ip for pc but netgear doesn't connect to tftp server) :-(
What am I doing wrong? Wrong tftp package?
It's sad that support offers help only after extra 75EURO payment for one time service, in case where netgear's firmware update (to 6.4.x) cause problems.
Hello mdgm
I have the same problem as the people above "ERR: Could not mount boot flash".
I have installed Java 6.45 and RAIDar and get the following message.
"RAIDar shows TFTP_REQ status"
I have used PUTTY to telenet into the box and have the # prompt, I have also navigated some of the system and used rnutil to make some basic investigations of the problem.
USB recovery doesn't work, I have tried a number of USB sticks and they all hang the box.
"Factory Defaults" doesn't work, likewise "OS install".
The only sign of life I get from this thing that it is not bricked completely is the "Tech Debug" option.
Any help in fixing this problem would be gratefully received.
Best Regards
Danny
Hi Cybernaut, I have sent you a PM.
Hi all ,
Could you help us pls ?
I have a Netgear RN10400 device . But when I open the device, I get the error "ERR:could not mount boot flash" I ran from the Netgear forums. I created a rescue disk but a flash memory is read at system startup, although it self-shuts down after 10 seconds. There's a method called RMA forums, but I couldn't get the details. I would ask your help on the subject. Thanks , have a nice day
