dp 8000 not booting

We were updating hog 3 from 3.1.2 to 3.1.4.
Console software updated ok and working.
Dp2000 software updated ok and working.

Then the dp 8000 didn´t start to update.
So we tried forcing with pressing left button from dp8k when powerup. Nothing.
We ended up trying pressing all three buttons while powerup.
End result was that the dp8k isnt booting up any more at all.

If it is booted with all 3 buttons pressed the following happens:

First there is a lot of boot info runnning and eventually it goes to loop written below:

PXELINUX 3.71 3.71 Copyri

I/O Board Disconnected

At this point the Hog-Net Link light turns off and back on in approx 5 secs.


I/O Board Connected

And then dp goes back to beginnig of PXE... (loop above)


Then if is just turned on OR hard reseted (with center and right while poweron) a lot of info comes and everything stops to:

eth0: 10/100 speed: disabling TSO

and then nothing...

Havent had similar problems previously.
DP8k worked just fine before this.

Any ideas? Running out of buttons to press while powerup...

    Holding a single button at powerup won't help in this case. Holding any single button forces the I/O board firmware to reload, and your I/O board appears to be working fine.

    Holding all 3 buttons will force a main firmware reload, which is what you need.

    Try connecting the DP8000 directly to the console with a crossover cable and nothing else attached to the DP. Then hold down all three buttons and turn on power. Do you get the same behavior?
