That is the part that blows up. The OS upgrade goes smoothly. Then you see that there is a routerboard firmware upgrad and you have to power cycle the board when it still hasn't come back 5 minutes later. I've seen that about 2 or 3 RB-450Gs when upgrading from 2.28 to 2.29. I think I have 5 or 6 of the RB-450Gs. When it happens on the bench, I don't care. One happenned in the field. That wasn't good. I have 3 RB-493Gs and, if I remember correctly, one of them had to be power cycled. Also, during Dennis' training class in Salt Lake, I had the same issue with the RB-433 I was using. On all of those, I was upgrading to 4.16 from various 4.11 or earlier loads, whatever was preloaded on the board when they arrived here. I've not seen it happen on my 5 RB-750Gs. On all of these platforms, my sample sizes are too small to say x% fail to reboot successfully after a firmware upgrade. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin [email protected] _______________________________________________ Mikrotik mailing list [email protected] http://www.butchevans.com/mailman/listinfo/mikrotik Visit http://blog.butchevans.com/ for tutorials related to Mikrotik RouterOS
