[j-nsp] M40/RE233-256 problems

[L. Croese - InterXS]

Hi List,

I am having problems with one of our two M40 routers.
The one with problems has a RE233-256 and a SCB-E with Internet Processor II

It looks like that the flash memory on the RE is broken as this is the 
output on the console -> see end of message.
I doubt if the flash is actually broken as the boot loader does show the 
correct details of the flash disk (Scandisk 91 Mb), so I removed the flash 
card out of one of the M7i we have running, rebooted the box and I noticed 
the boot loader actually sees that the flash card is not present and then 
continue booting from the harddisk. So I removed the flash memory of the 
RE233 of the M40 and tried to reboot it, no console output what so ever, 
checked cables etc but no output at all, the front panel LCD states the 
routing engine is starting.

- is it true that the flash disk is broken, as it shows the correct details 
with the startup (size etc) can it also be that the flash is working but 
that it is a filesystem problem?
- is it true that the M7i can boot without flash and the M40 doesnt boot 
without the flash?

Thanks in advance,

Leon Croese


Console output when the flash card was present in the RE:

boot.config:
