Systems Engineer
I was wondering if anybody has had experience with Nortel's latest Communication BCM system 4.0 that now uses the Linux software as it's operating system. It used to use NT4, but now the upgrade path from 3.6 or 3.7 will convert to Linux. I've put a thread on the BCM forum at " but I then realised that this forum may be a better place for my question?.
Here is the situation below..
I was wondering if anybody has come across this problem upgrading to 4.0. My test BCM 200 upgrade almost completed it's process & had started doing the "convert" process on the bottom line.
It's now rebooting & I can't connect via IP for more than a couple of minutes at a time. I've connected up the comm port and I get the following messages..

I'm certain that the problem is with the "Starting autoCoreUpload:" sequence as I have had a "FAIL" message.
I've tried to boot up into the Linux operating section by selecting the "Boot NCGL from RAM disk" option. The trouble is, I don't know the Login name & password?. If I did, would I be able to recover the BCM by just having a default system database?.
I taken out the Hard disk & put it on my XP to view it with "Partition Magic". I can see the various partitions as detailed below..

Is there anything missing from the hard disk?. I do have the 3 "*.gho" files from Nortel's site, But I can't rebuild the hard disk as the P.C. which has Ghost 2003 on, is a Windows 98 model. It can't access the Linux partitions.

I guess that my only course of action is to rebuild the BCM back to 3.7 & try the upgrade again.
Sorry it's a long thread, but I've tried to enter in as much detail as I can
