RB1100AHx2 failing upgrade

RouterOS RouterOS beta
1

Hi!
I have an RB1100AHx2 ppc based board and I testing ROSv7 with it. I can’t upgrade it with normal method because of boot error, I see this on console:

loading kernel partition 0... OK
setting up elf image... OK
jumping to kernel code
Could not mount ubifs/yaffs filesystem: No such device
[    3.308184] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000000
[    3.315840] Rebooting in 5 seconds..

I splitted flash into two partitions and board can boot with the fallback partition, but it can’t be upgradeable with /system/package/update/install command. However I can install any version of ROS on it with netinstall.
Another interesting thing with netinstall that the only can boot on port ether13 but I must move the cable from ether13 to ether11 after netboot to continue netinstall as netinstall doesn’t detect the board on ether13. I sucked half a day until I figured this out…

Which version of routerboot (/system routerboard print) is installed on your device? Older routerboot versions can not boot v7 so you have to upgrade routerboot to some recent v6 version first.

Thanks for reply.
I always keep routerboot on the same version as routeros even it needs dual reboot. I experiencing this with 7.x versions. Last time it runned 7.2RC5 and I had would like to upgrade it to 7.2 and failed.
All other type of my routerboards upgraded successfully.

Anyone else testing ROS7 with RB1100AHx2? If so experiencing this?

This could happen if you had model with a specific nand (can affect RB1100AHx2 and RB850x2). It will be fixed in the next version.
