GSM7328S v1 FW update problems after 6.2.0.6.opr, boot code update error
Hi,
I need urgent help from the experts here. I have a switch, GSM7328Sv1 with some FW upgrade issues. I can connect through console, enter Boot Menu and upload the interim image gsm73xxs-6.2.0.6.opr through XMODEM as stated here:
http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22
This upgrade works, and I get contact with the switch telnet, web, console.
To the problem:
When I try to do a FW upgrade through TFTP (over telnet or console, also tried Web) i get this:

Here it freezes and when I restart the switch it won't work and I have to redo the procedure with 6.2.0.6.opr upload through Boot Menu and XMODEM.
It doesn't matter if I choose 6.2.0.14, 7.1.1.7, 8.3.0.11 FW, same issue that it freezes.
Is something wrong with my boot code parts?
How can I check?
Where is the bootcode file?
What can I do?
Please give me a lot of things to try.
Thanks in advance and I hope for a quick answer from you guys! 🙂

Re: GSM7328S v1 FW update problems after 6.2.0.6.opr, boot code update error
When the boot code is updated, what files are changed and what does the system do?
Can I do something to wipe it, refresh it, etc?
If I connect to the switch consol at start up, enter Boot Menu and choose option 6, "Update boot code", only thing that happens is:
---
NetGear Boot code......
Version 01.00.09 08-23-2006
Select an option. If no selection in 2 seconds then
operational code will start.
1 - Start operational code.
2 - Start Boot Menu.
Select (1, 2):2
