Failed reinstall of the recovery image - my SG1100 now stuck in some kind of boot error
-
While reinstalling the firmware provided via a Netgate TAC ticket, it timed out, so I stupidly unplugged the SG1100.
Since then, whenever I access the console via USB, the following starts immediately:
Marvell>> boot
Card did not respond to voltage select!
** No partition table - mmc 1 **Reset SCSI
scanning bus for devices...
** Bad device scsi 0 **
BOOTP broadcast 1
BOOTP broadcast 2
BOOTP broadcast 3
BOOTP broadcast 4
BOOTP broadcast 5*It will then continue to a 'BOOTP broadcast 129' and then shows the following
Retry time exceeded; starting again

Is there a way to fix this or should I use my SG 1100 as a paperweight?
-
@zedbra Did you try powering it off again before installing? The Arm install basically just wipes the eMMC and writes it again, is my understanding.
I think TAC would be able to help under their free hardware support also…
-
@SteveITS I didn't power it off before installing. Ye, seems like eMMC is wiped and I don't know how to recover it. The usual console menu is nowhere to be found, I just get the errors and messages I pasted in the original post above.
Thanks, I will lodge a ticket with TAC and provide feedback here if it gets resolved, for anyone else with a similar issue.
-
Can you try re-installing again? Does it boot the recovery image correctly?
-
Hi,
Just recieved my new device and i have th exactly same issue when trying to reinstall from a new recieved image from support. Could you please help? -
What actual console output are you seeing?
Do you have a support ticket open with TAC?
-
@stephenw10 I have no support ticket. Below the output. Thanks

What USB memstick image are you using there?
-
@stephenw10 I used the link i recieved from your support : pfSense-plus-compat-recovery-23.09.1-RELEASE-aarch64.img.gz
-
Ok that should be correct.
The first things I would try are using the other USB port on the 1100 and then try a different USB stick.
-
@stephenw10 Thank you for your help. I changed USB port and it worked.
