[j-nsp] Software Upgrade failures on EX4200

[Kamal Dissanayaka]

Hi Nicholas,

Thanks for the reply,

Yes, MD5 check sum all correct.

I believe this some thing related to corruption in the partition however
switch does show any errors with fsck and nand-mediack on storage.

 I want to check any one in the list had same problem and anyway to process
remote upgrade on those devices.


Thank you

Kamal
