Netinstall won't install

Tue Dec 30, 2008 12:56 am

I'm using an RB532 and last week I plugged this router in and found that it wouldn't boot. Come to find out RouterOS is gone and it is trying to pull DHCP on the ether1 port.

Using the console I get this much...

Code: Select all
RouterBOOT booter 2.6

RouterBoard 532

CPU frequency: 399 MHz
  Memory size:  32 MB

Press any key within 2 seconds to enter setup..
kernel not found
trying bootp protocol... OK
Got IP address: 192.168.10.15
resolved mac address 00:16:36:6A:49:3A
transfer started ...................... transfer ok, time=1.31s
setting up elf image... OK
jumping to kernel code
Code: Select all
Welcome to MikroTik Router Software remote installation

Try to upgrade RouterBOOT (RouterBOARD) firmware, it is possible in the following way,

run Hyperterminal program (Windows) or Minicom (Linux),
1) switch on the RouterBOARD, hit any key to enter to the RouterBOOT;
2) click 'g' - upgrade firmware;
3) select 's' - upgrade firmware over serial port (use option Send File from
HyperTerminal program), use Xmodem protocol.

Do you know of an application that I can do this in Linux? Using Fedora/Gnome.

Hit any key and goes to BIOS , then format NAND , then "yes" And last try put RouterOS by Netinstall.
Helpful can be latest BIOS upgrade via /system routerboard upgrade. It seems it's 2.18 or 2.19 version.

Serge was suggesting that you upgrade the firmware aka BIOS. You are trying to use a RouterOS image not a firmware image.

Try this image which is correct for a RB532:

I knew that the firmware was part of the NPKs - didn't know it came separate. How did you find that link?

I have a board with a blown ether1 port. The POE still works, so I can use it, but I can't make netinstall use ether2 instead of ether1. Is there any way, i can recover this board ?

me to, netinstall only working on ether 1, can't do netinstall on ether 2/3/4/5. i need clarification on this issue, can i do netinstall on other ether. i already read wiki, forum and manual, i cant get any answer for this.

btw, i do netinstall on ether 1 then do quick setup, quick setup default to ether 1 and ether 2. hm... i would like to install mikrotik from ether 4/5 then do quick setup for ISP and LAN on ether 1 and 2.

something like
ether 1 -> plug ISP line
ether 2 -> plug LAN line 1
ether 3 -> plug LAN line 2
ether 4 -> netinstall from laptop/PC
ether 5 -> netinstall from laptop/PC
new router didn't have serial console, i like serial console for install, maybe mikrotik must provide one port/ether for install or USB port for install (replacing serial port), i like serial console

btw i also want to rename mikrotik software version, can i do this? i dont want people know what routher i'm using.
