"autoCoreUpload" Failure on BCM400 4.0

[MikeDThePhoneGuy]

Hey all...
I have a known good BCM400 chassis, BFT, and H/D...I am trying to test/boot MSC cards in it and keep getting a [Failed] when the boot sequence gets to the "Starting autoCoreUpload:"

I put back my known good MSC and no issue. I know there is a patch for this and have installed it onto the h/d already...but still getting the error.

Because this is a test environment, I wouldn't be concerned if it happened now and then but so far I have had this issue on 10+ 4.0 MSC cards.

I would appreciate any thoughts or ideas, or even better would be a solution! Thanks!!

Hello Mike

Was your BCM previously an old 3.X etc?. I'm not sure if it's a BIOS problem?. There might have been a patch for it.

All the best

If it's working, then leave it alone!.

After trying a few more MSC, was still getting the same failure on the autoCoreUpload.

I pulled the H/D and re-imaged it back to the 4.0 default. Reset the time and date and the time zone, re-downloaded and re-installed SU.System.032 which was supposed to have the correction within for this issue.

After this I put one of the previously failed boards back in and booted the unit. The autoCoreUpload portion of the boot took approximately 20+ minutes...but it passed...I attempted a second previously failed board...and again after 20+ minutes it passed with an [OK]

So that was the fix...I can only assume some type of error or corruption on the H/D or in the Patch...either way it is now working...
