Post by BANNAIRE »

Hey all

I had to upgrade a CPU7-2 from relaese 10.1 to release R12.2. I flashed the bios with a release l2300.20e (as some TC says) . The BIOS is now OK (4.3). I loaded the new release R12.2 (m3.402.32). This was OK also. When I boot the CPU, I get this :

*** CPU7-2 Board version 3BA23259ABJE05ÿÿ ***

Any help ? Merci

Hi,
Memory is ok, bios version is ok, but the hdd is not validated to CPU7-2.
Can you try with another hard disk.
For details you can check tc0418

BRegards
