Weerd msg console m4100-d12g

Hi,
On a netgear m4100-d12g I'm seeing the following when the device is starting up:
"Linking libproc_libs.so to /lib/libproc_libs.so
Invalid image name -"

I don't understand where 'Invalid image name' is comming from?
This msg is not present on an identical switch.
Any help is welcome.

Reposting this here in the proper forum! 🙂

Re: Weerd msg console m4100-d12g

Hi tammtamm,

 

Welcome to our community! 🙂

 

May I know where are you seeing this? Is it from the console/ telnet/ GUI? Do you still have access to the web admin page? If yes, please try to re-install the firmware or update it to the latest firmware version. 

 

You may download it here.

 

Regards,

Re: Weerd msg console m4100-d12g

Hi there,

Thanks for your answer.

I'm seeing this in the console, before asking here, I already tried to upgrade the FW but to no avail.

An other thing that I'm seeing is that I'm not able to boot on the backup image (image2 in my case):

Re: Weerd msg console m4100-d12g

@tammtamm,

 

Were you able to press "q" while it boots up so that we can push the firmware image 2 on the boot menu? I believe that this is also covered with lifetime chat support.

 

You may open a ticket here.
