Hello,
I'm tearing my hair out over a Cisco WLSE 1030 we have.
I managed to crash the LINUX OS underneath the Cisco shell somehow so that the NIC drivers fail to load. As result the WLSE can't do anything, so I thought I'd reinstall everything from Recovery CD, rediscover the APs, reimnport my floor maps and upgrade the WLSE OS at the same time.
We've only got 40x APs, so it's not a bid deal.
I've downloaded the 2.1.15 Recovery CD ISO image from Cisco and created a working CD.
I've run into a wall with the Recovery CD - the WLSE begins to boot from it, but will stop almost immediately in a LINUX loading screen like this:
Loading initrd.lmg..............ok
Loading vminuz..................ready.
Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.
I tried downloading the ISO image again, in case this went bad somehow in the download, but same result with the new CD.
I then had a go with the Recovery image resident on the WLSE - boot normally from local hard disk but hit Any key during the GRUB loader and go into CiscoBrer.
Here the WLSE gives a screen like this:
root(hd0,0)
filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /recoveryz rw ramdisk ramdisk_size=16384 root=/dev/ramdisk
[Linux-bzimage,setup=0x1000, size=0x1140d03]
initrd /rootfs
>>More of the same<<
Uncompresing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.
And then it just hangs there instead.
Has anyone had these kinds of problems before and how did they get round them?
I'm under the impression that the Recovery CD has a full HD image of the WLSE - it rewrites everything on the WLSE hard disk, including the filesystem, partitions and the LINUX OS, not just the Cisco bits on top of those?
Is there a limit to what version of the OS a WLSE 1030 can run (the 2.1.15 CD won't load because of this?)?
Is there another way to get into the recovery image?
Is there a ghost image or something of a virgin WLSE server hard drive somewhere, to reimage the WSLE HDD offline?
Is my WLSE toast?
Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards
BF
