I have just upgraded 3 x i386 routers recently from ROS 2.9.x to ROS 3.6 and all went well, but over the past few days they have all crashed and required a reboot to get them working again. These machines are running as Hotspot installations.
All machines are PIII i386 machines from (Standard Dell Optiplex with IDE drives) and were upgraded together within a few hours of each other. It was the first time that any of these machines had crashed since they were installed 12 months ago.
I could not connect a keyboard and mouse because they are all located 60km, 50km and 100km away respectively and had to get someone else to press the reboot button.
The DSL modems were rebooted before we pressed the reboot on the i386 so the net connection was working before the reboot. The Routers connect via PPPoE to the ISP.
Next time I will try and connect a monitor and do a supout.. !! But this is going to be very time consuming and at this point I am just considering downgrading them to 2.9.51 and get back to a quiet life..
I am hoping that there are others that are having this problem too and a fix is on the way.. It is too much of a coincidence that 3 routers have crashed in the past 3 days after they were all upgraded to 3.6 !!
Any suggestions on what I could try before I wipe 3.6 and reinstall 2.9.51 ?
