Upgrading worked fine so far on my mmips and mipsbe architecture routerboards. I went through about 6 of them and then decided to try on an HAPAC2.
I usually Reset the config on my routers with no default config before I load the new firmware on. Did the same with my HAPAC2 today and nothing. I can’t even bring it back up with netinstall.
I think it was on 6.44.6
I just wondered if anyone else was having problems with HAPAC2 or other routerboards?
How old was bootloader? Very old bootloader will not work with v7. Try to load backup booter and then reinstall with netinstall.
I was able to Netinstall and recover. My bad on some firewall settings.
How old is very old? It was an hapAC2 factory bootloader was 6.44.5!
I Netinstalled with 6.46.2 and then upgraded the bootloader to the same and then upgraded to 7.0b5 and everything worked.
Second one from the batch I went up to 6.46.2 for everything and then upgraded to 7.0b5 No problems
