Re: Redboot won't load initrd.gz via ymodem

Marc,

Did you find and follow that PDF's instructions on loading the image?

The original PDF was in an Asian language and translated.

That's what I plan on going by... Wondering if that bricked the unit.

Hi Loïc,
Thanks for the help. I have an intel S44000E. I will give screen a go. I 
think I may have bricked the device when I did a
"fis init". According to everything I read though I should be able to get 
a new image installed with ymodem.
The networking doesn't appear to work anymore :( Even though ip_address 
shows the ip address it would use. I have no rammode,ramdisk or zImage
when I do "fis list" it only shows the redboot image and the redboot
config image.

I will give your suggestion a try and let you know.

thanks

Mark

I would dot he same with the zImage as well if I can get this to work. 
The
problem is that the initrd.gz image wont download via ymodem. I am using minicom. I wait for a "C" to show then do the c-A S thing to send the 
file
but it just times out. First time using minicom so maybe I don't know 
how
to use it properly.
I suggest you use screen as your terminal and "sb" (from lrzsz) to send 
the initrd with xmodem or ymodem.  e.g.:
   load -v -m ymodem -b 0xsomeaddress -r

from screen type ^A and « : » then:
   exec !!.| sb --ymodem /some/file

Another good option with the Thecus (you have a Thecus, right?) is
http:
   load -r -v -b 0x01d00000 -h 192.168.0.12 -m http /kernel
   load -r -v -b 0x01000000 -h 192.168.0.12 -m http /initrd

That's much faster too.
