Hi Loïc, Thanks for the help. I have an intel S44000E. I will give screen a go. I think I may have bricked the device when I did a "fis init". According to everything I read though I should be able to get a new image installed with ymodem.
The networking doesn't appear to work anymore :( Even though ip_address shows the ip address it would use. I have no rammode,ramdisk or zImage when I do "fis list" it only shows the redboot image and the redboot config image. I will give your suggestion a try and let you know. thanks Mark > On Wed, Dec 30, 2009, [email protected] wrote: >> I would dot he same with the zImage as well if I can get this to work. >> The >> problem is that the initrd.gz image wont download via ymodem.
