H3 won't upgrade to 3.2.x -Serious issue

ok. I'm about to give up(and I very seldom do that)

-I have a H3 here that is 100% impossible to upgrade to 3.2.x

-I've tried everything, burned on different brands,speeds,etc,changed HDD,changed CD drive,used same CD-r drive to burn and to read in console.

This prosedure leaves nothing more to try:
Tried installing in the strange H3 with:
1-a new HDD that works in our two other H3's
2- with a cd i'm able to upgrade the other consoles with
3- with the CD drive from the other H3's
4- even tried swoping the ata cables from the working H3.

No difference if I do 3.2.0 or 3.2.1 full install

-And 3.1.9(latest) works perfectly in every single combination I've tried

My conclusion is that there is something very strange with either the Full install routine beginning from v.3.2.0 or There is something with just this one H3. But since quite a few others have reported that it can be a bit more troublesome to get to 3.2.x than earlier builds leads me to believe something has changed in the way the full install is beeing done in 3.2 that is different from earlier.



on a normal full install the CD drives spins up, and after a little while both screens goes blue-logo. and after a while it restarts and boots up.
-My symptom are: the CD spins up, and it seems like it is doing something, since the activityled on the drive itself is blinking. but the screens never turn completely blue they just stays with the last selection from the selection menu where you slects full install., and after a while the drive spins down, and the console just sits there.

Console serial: 61FA3103231

-Any thoughts/info?

    I am having almost the same issues. This is a very old hog 3, running 3.1.9 bios 17.

    If I turn on the console with the 3.2.0 install disk in it just boots the console like normal.

    If I turn on with pig held down, and select full install, then yes, it just cycles back to the first menu.

    If I let it load normal and select software update instead of loading a show it tells me No fpspkg files found.

    I have burned the CD the same way I have done for every other install.

    The system used to have 2 dp 2000 on them but we have changed to a new dp 8000 and I changed the patch over to that one. I did not delete the dp 2k from the system though if that matters.

    What do I need to do to get this install working?

    Does this have anything to do with the file for the iso starting with Wholehog3 instead of what the old files were?
