      @stephenw10 I got your notification before the post was deleted. The 2.5 Dev coming up on the update list must be quite new. I ran it and got back in to the UI. I then factory reset it from the UI but it hasn't come back up after 30 minutes haha. I'll find a micro USB cable when I get a chance and see what it's doing on the serial console.

        Yeah, sorry I removed it because I tested it and found an issue. Hopefully should be solved soon.
        2.5 actually runs fine on the SG-1100 it's the upgrade process itself that currently has a problem.

          I plugged a USB cable in and rebooted it. Itgets to a certain point then spits this out thousands of times over:

          Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in /etc/inc/config.lib.inc on line 383

          Do you have a 2.5 DEV SG-1100 factory image I can apply to it?

            Not directly. If you open a ticket with us we can get you factory 2.4.5p1 image and you can upgrade again. However I would recommend not doing that until we get this upgrade issue resolved.

              Yep I logged a ticket for the recovery media saying no valid serial number found and aborting. I asked for a 2.4.5-p1 image in the ticket too. Cheers.

                It's just a test unit now so I thought I'd keep playing with it.

                2.5 upgrades fine.
                Reset defaults works fine after 2.5 upgrade
                First wizard config leads back to thousands of these after the reboot:

                Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in /etc/inc/config.lib.inc on line 383

                Is that they problem you are aware of or a different one?

                Is there a workaround I can apply?

                Cheers

                  You upgraded before you ran the initial config wizard?

                  That same error was reported here but we were unable to replicate it at that time:

                    @stephenw10 yes I upgraded before the wizard and it was successful. I reset factory defaults after that and it was OK then too. That error stopping a successful boot only happened after running the wizard on 2.5.

                      Hmm, may have replicated that.

                      When a ran the wizard on an upgraded box it caused it to panic and reboot. I didn't hit the exact error you did but I suspect you are just seeing a filesystem error from the forced reboot.

                      Digging...

                        I got pretty far by avoiding the wizard. Did all my config until deleting an unused VLAN which reset the system. First time it came back up. Second time it went back to the exact same cannot use a scalar on line 383 error.

                        I unassigned 4092 from OPT1 and assigned 4091 to it, changed OPT1's VID to 4091, removed 4092 from the VLAN list for the switch all fine. When it cane to removing the now unused 4092 under interfaces:VLANs, it's at that point it hard resets. Next time I'll leave it there.

                          You will probably need to add back your serial number and MAC address to uboot since you went through the upgrade process unfortunately. Both of which are on the label on the SG-1100.

                          At the console interrupt uboot to reach the Marvell>> prompt, then run:

                          setenv serial NTGXXXXXXXXXX
                          setenv ethaddr f0:ad:4e:xx:xx:xx
                          saveenv
                          reset

                          That should then allow you run the recovery image and display the dashboard correctly.
                          That won't help with the interface removal which appears to be unrelated.

                            @stephenw10 yep I got those instructions in the ticket I logged and have been doing that before every recovery. Thanks.
