Attempting to Reinstall MT OS on RB-532 Fails w/ NetInstall

PCNetworks · Mon Dec 16, 2013 11:37 pm

Good day users....

I have a RB-532 which after attempting to upgrade from 6.3 to 6.7 went into a brick mode after reboot.

In attempting to reinstall MT OS using NetInstall according to http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Netinstall
After setting the router to boot to Ethernet and then initiating a reboot I receive the following from my Terminal:

kernel not found
trying bootp protocol..... OK
Got IP address: 10.0.0.100
resolved mac address 00:0D:56:5B:81:81
transfer started ........................... transfer ok, time=3.29s
setting up elf image... OK
jumping to kernel code

I have both RB/OS 6.7 and 5.26 on my PC Desktop and Netinstall *does* see both files.

I have also disabled the Windoes XP firewall just in case alike.

Should you have solutions, I would love to hear them....

Thank you

Best Regards

did you Upgrade firmware?

What if you try to install an old 2.9.51?

plain code

Before upgrading RouterBOARD 1xx or 5xx series devices (MIPS-LE) to version >=5.17, please upgrade your RouterBOOT firmware by uploading one of the following files to your corresponding device, and issuing command "/system routerboard upgrade". Download for: [RB1xx]; [RB5xx]

Yes, I did upgrade the F/W (that was the cause of bricking)

I will give 2.9.51 a try, not sure if that will be it but its worth a try.

Thank you for the reply
