MGC disk cache error...disk read failed

[curtismo]

I have a spare MGC card that is having the following issue when trying to upgrade FPGA loadware:
0x83fe4598 (tMGCInst): Upgrading FPGA Loadware...
0x83fe4598 (tMGCInst): disk cache error: device 878d5c48 block 64 errno c0003, disk read failed
0x83fe4598 (tMGCInst): disk cache error: device 878d5c48 block 64 errno c0003, disk read failed
0x83fe4598 (tMGCInst): Programming FPGA ...
0x8417e41c (tISECSH): disk cache error: device 878d5c48 block 0 errno c0003, disk read failed

This card failed some time ago and at that time I took a replacement from my complete CS1000E chassis spares kit. Now when I (finally) have some time I am trying to see if I can resurrect the card. I'm assuming from the message that there probably are bad sectors on the internal flash drive. I am booting from the MSP and CSP Gold Image in the boot menu. Any idea if I diskformat "all" the flash that I would be able to recover the card, or is the board toast due to the errors during the FGPA upgrade process?

The MGC is one of the older, early cards with the slide locks for the toggles rather than the cheap plastic spring clips on the newer ones.

I have had some luck with diskformat. Log in using control ldb Username pdt2 and password for pdt2.

ldb> diskformat

This will erase all and restore the gold image.
