Hi,
It looks like my box isn’t going to even come up this time, after running the USB recovery process followed by the reset button procedure.
It is now just stuck in the booting… state.
Steps I’ve taken to date:
Friday
Booted box using skip vol check and this took 5 hours to come up
Sunday
Did USB recovery procedure, it again took 5 hours to come up, this time I re-installed the latest firmware using the web interface, it was already running the latest version but I said to install again anyway. Didn’t come back up so ran USB recovery procedure again and it never came up.
Monday(Today)
Booted with skip vol check and it took 5 hours to come up
Tried TFTP and USB recovery procedures and now the box is stuck in the booting… state.
The last step I took was the USB recovery procedure with skip vol check. The unit is still not coming up and is stuck in the booting state.
Thanks…
