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:

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...

    Eric,

    dp8k still not working.
    Direct connection with crosscable dp8k-hog3.
    Tried first with the ip that we use -> boot dp8k with 3 buttons pressed.
    Same result as earlier, ends up running a loop as descibed earlier.

    Then I changed console IP to default settings.
    Again boot with 3 buttons.
    Now it went a bit more, but still stopped at some point and only
    said retrying or reconnecting or so...

    Then a third try with same setup.
    Now dp8k doesnt start to do anything. Only says forcing software reset (or something similar, can´t remember exatly).

    Didn´t try 4th time.

    I think I will contact our HES distributor on monday. In any case.
