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.
