NG6100 does not start up
-
@stephenw10 I have just removed the battery and connected again to power. All three leds were turned on and seems booting now :) I try to check logs and eMMC.
I hope I can move everything to an M2 SSD, that will be a major step forward. Thanks a ton for the idea! I will come back to you later with my findings.
Thanks,
János -
Ah, good result! Yes, if you're using packages creating a lot of logs you should switch to an SSD.
-
@stephenw10 it seems it was a one time boot... I tried to remove again the battery but it is stuck again.
I made a picture about the leds on the mianboard.
Any idea what I can do? Any jumper for reset bios/boot loader?
Thanks,
János -
Removing the battery and waiting should reset it AFAIK.
Do you see either of the two 'FLASH' diag LEDs light at all?
The 4 diag LEDs that you do see lit there are expected for the board powering up.
-
@stephenw10 thanks! sometimes 4 leads, sometimes 2 leds are on. I believe it takes time to reset. Any idea how much time needed for the reset please? As far as I understand it is flashing from a backup ROM and the flas leds are on during this process. Am I right?
just an FYI: I ordered another 6100 with SSD because I need a cold stand by unit ;)
-
You should always see the 'HOST_SHD_FLASH' LED flash at boot when it boots normally. If you don't see either then it's failing to access the storage.
If you remove the power, then remove the batter and hold the PWR button for 10s that should be sufficient to reset anything dynamic.
-
@stephenw10 Thank you for your help! It seems m2 ports are not working neither. It boots only when no usb or m2 attached to the device. eMMC is completly burned and may have other issues we cannot find. I belive this unit is gone, so we waiot for the new one ordered yesterday. No solution for this.
-
Mmm, disappointing. Yes if the LED remains orange it's not POSTing. Curious that it did it one time. Not sure there anything more we can try though.
-
@stephenw10 hi, it seems I fixed the booting part. Now I am able to boot with an installer usb stick (I did it couple of times with other NG products and used an older one with the proper usb port :) )
It does not recognize eMMC and NVMe SSD neither. This is the console ouptut before I got stuck with no suitable disk error:

Hmm, what NVMe drive are you using?
What did you do to allow it to start booting USB?
-
@stephenw10 Hi, I used a very old USB2 stick and that worked only on the lower USB port only. Its size was 4GB only because all other/larger drives, including USB3 sticks were not working.
Regarding the NVMe drive, it is a Western Digital one, but turned out it is not good even it is a B+M key M2 drive. I am looking for another drive, but it is nearly impossible to buy, I checked lots of places. I am happy to buy from Netgate too, but there is no any in the shop.
Also I identified the leds meaning (at least the pattern which are for reset, normal boot, restart, on/off state) on the PCBA and that helped me to boot the unit again.
Thanks,
János -
Do you have the actual model number of that SSD? Good to know what drives are not recognised.
-
@stephenw10 it was a WD Red SA500 500GB M.2 however it is not NVMe but SATA. I identified when I checked my colleague whom I asked to buy one :) at least B+M key drive :D
To be honest, it is not easy to get the proper drive. -
Ah, yes it must be NVMe. m.2 SATA is not supported there.
-
I have a 6100 and I am in the same boat. I added a new certificate and then the unit stopped responding. I went on site and saw the same thing: solid orange light. Plugging in a console cable, I see nothing and no amount of holding reset/power changes anything. I did pop the button cell, but still nothing. I did put in an NVME B/M drive (KingSpec M.2 NVMe SSD NE 2242) to see if maybe the onboard MMC was dead but I still get the same symptoms. I am seeing the same four green LEDs as well.
-
@mal Your symptoms sound like the eMMC has failed in a way that is preventing your 6100 from POSTing.
There are several reports of users with the same issue that have desoldered the eMMC chips and then their 4100/6100 worked afterwards.
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/196028/6100-failed-emmc-replaced-with-nvme-but-now-no-longer-reboots/21
If your 6100 is out of warranty then you have nothing to lose by attempting to desolder the eMMC chips.
-
@mal Does your 6100 have the same light behavior as this (4100)?
Pressing and holding the power button appears to attempt to do something after about ten seconds (it was non responsive with a five second push) according to the eight diagnostic led's changing on the circuit board but still no output on the console, no activity on the USB key and the orange circle of death remains. In this post power button pushed for 12 second state the lit led's on the board are:
FLASH (immediately above RESET)
