I recently performed an upgrade that included about 90 505s, and strongly suspect I hit the same bug on the entire batch - except, of course, for the one that I kept and put in the lab environment. That one stubbornly refused to fail, upgrading flawlessly every time.
Has anyone ever heard if there's a fix that doesn't require physical access? All of my 505 are in residential space, which basically means that I'm not likely to get physical access to them until after the students move out this summer.

That's the one. Have you reported it to them? I didn't pull the word rare out of thin air... That's what I've been told and that it affected roughly 0.0001% of deployed 515s. I guess I'm just being naive. Thanks for waking me up!

It's not so rare, it's been happening to our 515s since 8.4. The AP will upgrade successfully, but the apboot> environment variable that selects which partition to boot, never gets changed so it reboots to the old partition and rinse and repeat.

We hit a "rare" bug that's only affected a small number of 515s worldwide where the AP gets stuck in a boot/image upgrade loop and you must physically console into the AP to fix it and boot from the upgraded partition. ********** Replies to EDUCAUSE Community Group emails are sent to the entire community list.
