Hi all there,

The first few test boots with the new iSCSI-ENTERPRISE went well. I had all the nice screens as printed in the manual. The screen said: "Model Open-E iSCSI ENTERPRISE, Version 1.51.IE00000000.1376, Release date 2006-01-04"

Some days later reboots from iSCSI-Enterprise DOM failed with: "Error loading Operating System".

Cross-checking hardware, power cable, IDE socket etc. showed everything seems OK. I then tried to update the DOM v1.51 to v1.71 from the ISO-image CD. So I downloaded the ISO file and burned it on a CD. During the update process the iSCSI-Enterprise DOM was positioned in IDE0-master. The ISO-image CD in IDE1-master did boot. Then the screen said:

Then the update process stops with:
"Initializing System ... <CR> Unable to update (0x7F) ..."

My Questions:
1. Is something wrong in my processes?
2. Can I do something different to get the DOM booting again? I seems that the DOM lost its operating system.
3. Is the DOM maybe defective?

Please help ...
hopefully, Robert
