Anyone -
Just upgraded a perfectly good PC version of 3.4 distro (scripting didn’t work) to ROS 3.5.
Screen shows loading and that’s it…
As I recall - and I have not done this in a long time now, there is a keyboard command to stop the ROS boot process that gives you a menu. I do not even remenber what the menu had available on it… It was ctrl-z or maybe it was ctrl-s - anyway - does anyone remember this and what the menu options are?
Basically I am stuck at the moment - do not want to re-install via CD (though I may have to in the end) so if anyone has any ideas - now is the time to put them up here.
PC is a plain ‘jane’ AMD 900mhz, 40GB hard drive, 512MB of RAM. Just the basics. Two Nics, one is intel and one is 3COM. Worked fine under 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4
I upgraded 4 machines, 1 routerboard 333 and 3 PC’s from 3.4 to 3.5. Everything is fine on the RB and 2 PC’s, but I had the same “Loading E” problem on the main router. I had to remove IDE flash and put hard disk with another installation and reconfigure everything from the backup. About 1 hour of broken Internet for my network and that’s it. Thank you Mikrotik for this exercise What shell we do in order to repair broken installations?
Also RB333. I stopped here, didn’t want to upgrade other machines. And I tried IDE flash from the first machine in another PC and it also didn’t work there, same thing “Loading E”. When I boot to Windows and mount this IDE flash, I can read the files from there although I am not sure if something is corrupted.
Does that problem is dependent on some certain hardware? If so we can take flash out, put in a device with no such hardware, boot it, and downgrade/upgrade to 3.6 when it is available.
Yesterday I upgraded mine home RB532A with v3.5 from v3.4 and I got surprise: router did not recognize CM9 card at first boot after upgrade. Luckily, I did one more reboot and it worked for me, but ppl who have these in production can be harmed.
Same here in 4 machines… , all 4 machines work fine since 2.9.x version in all upgrades… to try get back the machone online i had inserted a 3.5 CD reinstall in and SAME problem… , then i inserd a CD with 3.4 version and ALL back ok again…
How to upgrade to 3.6 or downgrade to 3.4 an unbootable 3.5 x86 system i don’t have a recent system backup then i need to keep all my configuration and log files stored on HD. Can get this with NetInstall ?
Drove 120Km to server, Reinstalled with “keep previous settings” from Version 3.4 ISO and came back fine.
One other problem though. Previously imported certificates was gone.
When trying to import them again it would fail.
After giving up on the whole OVPN setup and waiting a couple of minutes i tried a last time and it worked
It’s ok now … everything seems normal after i upgrade routerOS to v3.6
Our router with Xeon processor (Quad core) has been working normal and no problem with the upgrade process.
What shell we do in order to repair broken installations?
