Description Mikael Nyberg 2009-08-25 19:13:10 UTC
Or did it only looked like it was so, anyway it prompted for an upgrade and failed  i looked at diagnostic and subnet and gateway was "nil"
All other diagnostic items looked ok, wifi icon was white.

Rebooted the SBC and all was OK.

The SBC is on an fixed IP network:

etc/network/interfaces

"
auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

mapping eth0
	script /etc/network/if_mapping
auto eth0=Liogor
iface Liogor inet static
	address 192.168.1.6
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	gateway 192.168.1.1
	dns 192.168.1.1
	up echo 'nameserver 192.168.1.1' > /etc/resolv.conf
"

Should one add
Network and Broadcast to interfaces to ? Like this:

network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255

Or is my network settings a red herring, hard to tell it really want's to upgrade no way doing anything else before upgrade is complete.

Felix: Could this be the cause of bug 11836  or the symptom of another issue that Tom has been trying to work on?
Comment 2 Felix Mueller 2009-08-25 23:18:45 UTC
James: Not sure, could QA please try to reproduce. A log would be helpful and I need to know how long SBC needs to be sleeping so this issue happens. Also check the Diagnostics screen just after setup is done and when this issue happens. With static IP I don't see how SBC could loose this information.

Thanks
Felix

I'm afraid this is not easy to reproduce, i've only seen it 1 time
I let it sleep for 12 hours and it was perfectly happy ?
Maybe i'll try reinstall the server while SBC is sleeping then wait long enough for fw upgrade to be pushed.

Are you aware of that it sometimes reboot's after a sleep ? not very often but it does happen, now it was sleeping while i'll stop my server and upgraded

See bug 13693

QA has not been able to reproduce this, please reopen the bug if you see it happen again.  A log file from the SD card on the effected Controller would be good to add to the bug.

Happend only once never seen it since.

Another thing controller don't write the messages file to my SD card it did before ?
