[j-nsp] Update to 9.4R1.8 gone bad

[Dave Humphrey]

Is RE0 still running 9.3 when it boots from the hard drive?

Hi list,

I recently updated one MX router from 9.3 to 9.4.
What shows up after that is

- --
Alarm time               Class  Description
2009-02-18 07:46:34 UTC  Minor  Host 0 Boot from alternate media
- --

and after logging in to that RE

- --
- --- NOTICE: System is running on alternate media device (/dev/ad2s1a).
- --

Checking the boxes console while rebooting after a 'request system reboot media compact-flash'
it goes like

- --
=================== Bootstrap installer starting =================== Initialized the environment Routing engine model is RE-S-2000 error opening /var/run/usbd.pid for writing: Read-only file system
usbd: Unable to lock PID file: Read-only file system Discovered that flash disk = ad0 , hard disk = ad2
ERROR: discover_install_drive: tmp/preinstall/install.conf not found
- --

and dumps me to some sort of recovery console. Upon entering 'reboot', the system apparently falls back to the hdd and comes up with the state the hdd is providing.

Interestingly, this only happens to RE0, the second one still boots from flash. After doing the same to another MX, this behaviour also shows up so I'm kind of ruling a faulty flash out. Did 9.4. bork things up for anyone else?

The archives spew out the following, but didn't come up with a solution

I got a case up with Juniper but they're taking their time...

Any pointers appreciated.

Best regards,

Mit freundlichen Gruessen,
