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...

    We had the same problems with the DP8k uploading to V3.1.4 and the previous v of software. We had to set the console up to "Use default IP settings" and "Enable DHCP and Boot Server" in the control panel, then(removing the DPs from the network) connect a crossover cable straight from the HogNET output to the HogNET input of the DP8k. You'll then do a 3 button restart (unplug, hold 3 buttons and cycle power) and it should download the software and boot correctly. Then you have to go back and reset your network IP Address if you're using custom IPs.:)
