fvdw-sl-12-0 - Firmware upgrade failed [Solved]

[paros]

This can perhaps explain my current problems?

Firmware upgrade step 2 started...
Firmware upgrade failed, upgrade process aborted, reason:
firmware upgrade function found that no partiton sda1 or sda2 is marked as bootable

[Jocko]

Paros,

we need that you tell us the exact output! :tapfoot

Is it ?

"fw upgrade failed: cannot retrieve active partition both sda1boot and sda2boot file found"

Have you made several attempts to update?

[paros]

That is the exact output. Only One try.

[Jocko]

Ok Paros,

Maybe this will fix your problem :
Open a PuTTY terminal and do exactly these command lines

Code: Select all

cd /lacie-boot
ls


In your case, ls output must return two filenames : "sda1boot sda2boot"

So, you must delete it

Code: Select all

 rm sda1boot
 rm sda2boot

Then, try again to update the firmware and carefully follow the instructions displayed (be patient the different steps can be time)

[paros]

Well, something is not right here?

[fvdw]

very strange, try following
when you have Putty commmand line and are in the lacie-boot folder give the command to create sda1boot

Code: Select all

cd /lacie-boot
touch sda1boot

Now check if the file sda1boot is made by using the "ls" command.

If it is there then perform the firmware upgrade again and see if it succeeds

Rereading the output you posted indicates to me that you are using the wrong firmware upgrade menu

You are using the one for philips SPD8020, you should use the one for Lacie devices (they are different) and a warning is displayed to use the right one

I am using the file: xfvdw-sl-12-0-nwsp2-20mar2012.zip
download/file.php?id=713

[Jocko]

No, paros,

it's not a problem with the image file but you use a wrong menu :roll: (the first menu is only for spd8020 !)

[paros]

Should I do something about the sda2boot?
