Hi,

 

 

I tried to follow the steps you sent me, but I have no good results. My problem is that I entered in the following menu:

 

 

[hostconsh] Command Menu:

 

1 --- Connect to Host subsystem console

 

2 --- Select Host subsystem boot mode: boot from local drive

 

3 --- Select Host subsystem boot mode: netboot from SCCP

 

4 --- Select Host subsystem boot mode: netboot from external server

 

5 --- Reboot Host subsystem (sends reboot command)

 

6 --- Halt Host subsystem (sends halt command)

 

7 --- Reset Host subsystem (issues hardware reset--USE WITH CARE!)

 

8 --- Reboot SCCP subsystem (issues hardware reset--USE WITH CARE!)

 

9 --- Halt SCCP subsystem (issues hardware shutdown--USE WITH CARE!)

 

Q --- Exit Host subsystem console shell

 

[hostconsh] Enter command:

 

 

and type 7, y and 1, but the option 1 have no effect! I loose control on the menu and I cannot continue with the instructions. I am also trying to perform a clean instalation using a PXE server, but the result is the same when I pressed 1. why does not option 1 do anything??
