Hi All

upgrading from 4.11 to 4.17 (not sure about the versions but it was 4.x) blocked me all the 493AH. It was not just one box, it happened systematically on all the boxes we were upgrading.

The flow is the following:

1) the system is working nicely since months and you think "hey I want to install the latest STABLE"
2) you upload and reboot the system to upgrade it
3) it does not restart
4) you have to go to the place and power it off/on
5) the system starts
6) you wonder "what happens if I will reboot again???"
7) you start thinking that upgrading was not a good idea
8) now when you upgrade, you go there and you upgrade onsite

Regards
Paolo


Ya, happened to me on my RB1100AHX2. Now I'm afraid to touch it! Running FW
5.25 and I'm still wondering if running 4.17 might be a better choice.
Anyone???

I had this on an RB1200 (though not all of them), but I saw on the
Internet that it applies to other RB1x00 models.

I was doing an upgrade, but it also happened when just doing a reboot.

If your RB hangs at "Starting Services..." on the console, unplug the
power for a minute or so and then it should boot up fine. Quick power
cycles (5 - 10 seconds) weren't long enough and it would just hang. I
didn't have the problem later (after going from 5.xx to 5.25 and up to 3.07
firmware).
