RB1100AHx2 failing upgrade

Wed Apr 06, 2022 9:10 pm

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.

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